as an island
has a lighthouse
the earth has the moon
There Is Safety
Why The Meadow Blooms
for the bees
and the earth
and her own pleasure
Finally The Sun Came Out
after so many days of rain
there is warmth and light
and the earth rises up
in color and hope
Heaven Visits Earth
late snow
the celestial and terrestrial
entwines
Forever Reimbursing
the great outdoors
devoted to the enterprise of
feeding the earth for what comes next
The Fall
colors being absorbed
by roots
already nourishing spring
The Gourd And Squash
sharing dreams comprised
of pies and side dishes
seeds sleeping in the fertile earth
Tulips Beginning
an abstraction
of themselves
leaves bloom like petals
Water Lily Leaving
dissolving into
the primordial soup
that is home to the beginning
Embraced
cradled by oak leaves
the birch branch begins
her return to earth
Turquoise
the earth
encircled by
a gemstone sky
Home Sprouts
from the nourishing earth
a village
of tiny homes
Home
is a hole
perfectly round
made in the ground
Mud Season
the earth
so sodden and receptive
even wind leaves footprints
A Pink Orange Sigh
between night’s descent
and the sleeping earth
resides the colored breath of light
Late Meadow
the season’s colors
settling down
to the ground into brown
Heaven and Earth
between
the darknesses
a path of light
Everything At Once
each element
finds the perfect place
next to all the rest
Monarch In The Wind
held
to the earth
by a blossom
Plant Plumage
leaf feather
rooted to the earth
sailing on light
Bright Spot
early and delicate
light rises
from the dark ground
Arrangements
purple and green
each porcelain vase
awaits her tulip
Wonder of the Wallow
being one with
the great fertile earth
oh the magic of mud
Wake Up, Wake Up
above the sleeping earth
the sky
shouted out colors
Slow Rising
the earth awoke
with tiny blooms
as tulips trumpet spring
Rain Pond
on quenched earth
rain becomes
reflections of the day
Stegosaurus
green dinosaur
rises from the ancient earth
defying extinction
The Usefulness Of Everything
bark, branch and leaf
pay their debt to the earth
with themselves
First Out
up popped
snow drops
petaled exultation
Constellation
starry night
upon the ground
astronomy on earth
