in the fading light
accompany day into night

tucked away
magic white bench
surveys the private paradise

tales of freedom
outside the garden fence

attention from the sun
petals blush

on the garden’s shore

his work
is his vocation
the duty of pollination

of daffodils
early girls of spring

a decadence
of earthly pleasures
oh the primrose path

winter is banished
the branch in bloom

in the multitude of blossoms
five certain petals
called out: see me
Delicious
at spring’s visual feast
hyacinth offers
succulent colors to savor

an instruction of
peaceful coexistence

reach to warm
the cold, hard granite

slowly goes the snail
admiring everything
knowing flowers will wait
to be seen
