in itself
a work of art

one more
joyful shout
of spring

as if
to greet me

one among many
blooming
in common splendor

finds its way
over the rock wall
into the shade garden

at the glass table
in wrought iron chairs
we dine on beauty

does not conform
blooming in both pink and blue

to pollinators
come and stay awhile

stepping from the shade
blazing, blazing
like the sun

back at the sun

she blooms again
in shadow

beneath her
a legacy
of flowering

with scalloped edges
and complex patterns
of white on peach

fall’s iris pods
call across the river
to the tree’s spring buds

beneath the snow
revealed by the sun
spring has already begun

perhaps is was Seurat
who romanced the azalea leaves
with his pointillism

like a siren
calling to spring
bringing blossoms into being

pruning
in pursuit
of fruit

this particular
kind of sunshine
rouses sleeping seeds
February Garden
the bench
takes a sun bath
while imagining green

a barricade of color
holding winter blahs
at bay

in the white and gray landscape
we fasten our green hopes
to the rails

the cheer
of being
near each other

makes it difficult
to find purchase

in beauty
there resides
God

rounded
like the mountains
holding us in the valley
