wake up and embrace
the glorious beauty
of every fleeting moment
Fall Bids Us To
Open Arms
reaching out
the unconditional embrace
of every season
Embracing Mystery
the morning
shrouded
in mystical cold
All Wet
the mallard and heron
embrace water
from above and below
A Place In The Sun
kissed
and surrounded
by a warm embrace
Those Two Iris
they leaned
into each other
as lovers often do
The Sky’s Gracious Goodnight
witnessing
nature’s subtle embrace
of belonging
Bright and Cheering
oh the crabapple
with its ready embrace
of color
Captured
held
in place
by winter’s embrace
Gently
a dawning
tenderness
the universe’s embrace
The World Is Round
shadows
encircle us
the universe’s embrace
Romance
the blossom
in sunshine
lovers embrace
Every Opportunity
nature is unafraid
of complicated truths
embracing every opportunity of knowing
Emerald Wall
barrier embraced
hard edges softened
by a majesty of moss
Morning Joy
wings wide
the day embraced
one with everything
Renewal
dappled light
the blossom’s scent
innocence returned
Lavender Glooming
the colors
wrap around us
we are held
in heaven’s embrace
Emergence
wisdom lies
in the embrace
of not knowing
The Glory of Rain
blue umbrella
opens out
to cradle the rain
Dirty Knees
mud season
mother earth’s
warm fertile embrace
Dance Again
early winter thaw
snow releasing its embrace
soon the freed the oak leaf
can dance with the wind
once again
Unity
keeping things together
rather than apart
the old fence embraces
autumn’s abundance of goldenrod
Cottage Garden
the house resides
in the garden’s
flowering embrace
Forsooth
forsythia entwined
among the limbs
of her beloved
Rush
late to meet the river
eager for the ocean’s embrace
snow melt hurries
Embrace
time stops
as everything is held
in February’s embrace
Embrace
encircled by color
fall’s final embrace
Embrace
fingers of moss
entwine the old tree
a lover’s goodbye embrace.
