Fern is the dinosaur
who still roams the earth
waving its dragon tail.
Renewal
Adorned with angel wings
the color of the sky and ringed with time
the stump slowly returns to its beginning
by nurturing its mother – earth.
Whispers
spring whispers green
into the air, onto the trees.
Primrose
Beloved early guest of spring, goddess of the awakened earth.
Twin blossoms of love and protection mark the entrance to fairyland;
inviting you to venture past the invisible gate and into the world of delight.
Living
In April the earth vibrates
with a growing, glowing green
that celebrates each second of aliveness.
Horizon
My feet feel an earth drained of her color.
My mind’s eye imagines greens below blue skies.
Roots
Up-ended by weather, pulled from the ground;
decomposition returns you home to the earth.
Mud
The fifth season is mud season.
The earth is liquid with rain and snow melt,
rich with nutrients and brimming with the beginnings of new life.
Magnificent primordial ooze.
Bulbs
Oh daffodil!
Perennial forbearer of Spring,
keeper of faith.
Affection
The earth smiles
when the field is kissed by the sun.
Beautiful Day
A lace of branches
across the painted sky
the world is dressed up
and waiting for time to pass by.
Rock Wall
God is here in this rock wall,
in the mind that planned it, in the hands that made it,
in the earth that holds it, in the rain that will wash it,
in the snow that will gather on it, and the sun that dries it.
Watching
The earth has mushroom eyes
that watch us from the ground,
counting our steps.
