dried by time
soaked by winter
and still blooming
Finding Flowers
We Hold Each Other Up
remains of summer blooms
provide the structure for
blossoms made of snow
The Fence And The Field
nothing stands
in between
this place and peacefulness
Glinting In The Winter Sun
fresh powder
piles up
everything a-sparkle
Elegance
the graceful
bending
of acceptance
Garden Lights
sunflowers
still holding
summer sun
Sparkle
in the right light
from even the worn and humble
beauty emanates
To Thrive In All Circumstance
weather the storm
and make it
a flower
Dangerous Beauty
beside barbed wire
still life
inside a storm
Goldenrod Gone By
in the cold
old blooms
imitate snow
Her Delicate Majesty
the queen
in light and shadow
the shimmer of her flowerless crown
The Arrangement
weathering
winter
together
Nature’s Love Affair
wildflowers arranged themselves
for the pleasure of
the mountain’s view
What the Flowers Taught the Snow
aster’s blooms
each individualized
inspiration to snowflakes
Blue Light and Dark
divine
blue sky
everything asparkle
Snow Queen
her winter crown
rendered from
diamond light
Residency
on the north side
winter still resides
Structure of Spirit
with all of youth departed
the essence laid bare
great beauty remains
Each Day New
the day wakes
light yawns across the valley
creation is never done
Declared
sun shoulders out the snow
last years blooms trumpet
beauty’s determination
Corsage for March
pinned upon
the white gown of March
dressing early for the spring fling
Snow Queens
lacy queens patiently sit
for their still life portrait
by the pond
Queen Anne
in her final season
still she reigns supreme
Hortensia
the golden girl’s bloom
will weather winter
Dried
Before the first flake falls
the dried wild flower
shares a flurry of beauty.
