shadow and light
perform a dappled dance
stepping to August’s tune
A Song Of Summer
On the Terrace
even the granite
is somehow softened by the wind
and columbine’s enchanting dance
The Request
the way the light
was dancing in the woods
it was an invitation to enter
The Dance
wanting each moment
to last forever
impatient for what is next
Gossamer Layers
the day
twirled in
like a tutu lifting
Summer Comes
a window is opened in heaven
in summer waltzes
scattering shades of blue
Winter In The Wings
sunlight makes a show
of dancing
across the marsh
Waltz In The Woods
young trees
shadow dance
on the rock face
Garden Party
hollyhock corsage
every one is invited
to summer’s dance
Making Music
all the peepers
dance
to the fiddlehead’s tune
Chipmunk Dance
tiny feet
keep the beat
to the music of life
Motion
the leaves and the grasses
even the very air
dancing to winter’s tune
Ballerina
a petaled pirouette
peony’s
full turn
Last Dance
the garden offers
one last dance
of color
Dance Partners
light and shadow
tango
through May
Winter Formal
light and shadow
waltzing
the landscape
That’s What It’s All About
little bird’s
hokey pokey
turning himself around
Last Dance
summer’s
last light danced
across the lawn
How the Garden Grows
merry little breezes dance
as sunshine plays the tune
while flowers raise their sleepy heads
from their garden beds
After The Dance
the skirt ruffle lost
evidence of
fairies’ spring fling
Homecoming Dance
fall arrives
as leaf and shadow
dance in waning light
Purple Iris Solo
in the stillness
every line and curved
danced
Stirring
the water swam
as shadows danced
the past nourishing the present
Dance
in the slow snow
the garden waltzed
with winter
River Dance
light dances
across the surface
leaving footprints of joy
Petal Pirouettes
responding to the breeze
and breath of bees and butterflies
an endless dance
Celebration of Ordinary Days
long stalked blooms
dance in the breeze
garden party
Display
every feather tremors
in his exquisite dance
that drives off extinction
Orchard Dance
wind swirls
skirts of snow
at the feet of trees
Dance Again
early winter thaw
snow releasing its embrace
soon the freed the oak leaf
can dance with the wind
once again
