dew

Suggestion

wild geranium
suggests to the trees
the new season of colors has begun

perfection squared
tandem bloom
of festiva maxima

a gathering
of dew drops
individuality transcended

all flights of fancy are grounded
until the sun dries dew from wings

dew bejewels
phlox’s final outfit

All the mysteries of the universe
are contained
in a wild flower.

The master gardener
grows a burgundy trellis
and decorates with dots of dew.

Dew drops balance
on the tips of grass blades
until it is time to wed the earth.

When an October morning is gentle enough for bare feet
and the dew is but a cool kiss…these are gifts of Indian Summer.
