expansion

Contemplating The Leaf

repetitions
of line
how intricacies expand

the days expand
mid-mornings linger
the feeling grows
that there is time enough

the closer I look
the more my view expands
and resonates with memories

first and most mysteriously comes
an internal expansion
that commands glorious opening

pause and let
time expand into
beauty’s forever unfolding

divine sky
heaven visits
for the afternoon

to see
what flowers see
the expanding harmonies

as the marsh
whispered her secrets
the water spun light into gold

every leaf bud revels
in the space
reserved for their expansion

petals open
to sun and sky
peony sighs
