each blooms in their our own time
community’s beauty
someone is always flowering
Room For All
Allium Light And Dark
the depth
of light and dark
known best by the other
Moss And Snow
seeming strange bedfellows
yet nestled sweetly together
companions during winter’s long sleep
Fall’s Shift Of Light
every contrast more potent
the color wheel
gaining speed
Edged In White
such a small detail
thin fine line
the power of contrast
Blossom’s Bouquet
ever clever
hydrangea creates
a bouquet within her blossom
Full Sun
the meadow
bleached by light
wild blooms carry on
High Summer
the sun at her zenith
the shade deepens
all things ever balancing
Late Bloom
dahlia’s delicacy
in counterpoint
to fall’s exuberance
Morning Meadow
night is banished
now is
light’s time to play
Fall Approaches
as everything changes
keep flowering
as long as you can
Ghost Tree
times’s skeleton
a spirit
amidst mist
Small White Butterfly
spirit
of a dear friend
visiting again
Here Now
we need the shadows
to know how bright
the light can be
Stand Out
spotlight of sun
backdrop of woodland shade
flowering stalk takes a star turn
The Explorers
emerging from their rock wall den
into the bright morning light
and hunting lessons
Portent
putting the garden to bed
a startling glimpse of spring
the foreshadowing anemone
Undaunted
by winter’s demands
evergreens refuse to release color or needles
and stand in defiant contrast to the ever greying landscape.
Herringbone
A harmony of light and dark,
the forest floor wears herringbone.
Horizon
My feet feel an earth drained of her color.
My mind’s eye imagines greens below blue skies.
