at the front door
flowers will
greet your feet
Come In
The Garden Dreamt An Ocean
shoal
of red octopi
floating in the rosebush
The Butterfly’s Season
floating
’round the blossoms
courting beauty
A Catchy Tune
summer serenades with colors
one can’t help
but sing along
Deep In The Garden
the bench submerged
in seeding dill
oh to be like a bug on a stem
A Blush Before Blooming
shy buds
gathering the confidence
to bloom
Red Lipstick
gorgeous faces
in the garden
all made up
Holy Is Our Green Space
the garden wears a halo
her given name ~
hibiscus
Wander The Garden
the spirit restores
finding the space of place
along gracious paths
Triumvirate In White
three lilies
in their bloom
rule the dooryard
Exuberant Vulnerability
holding both
the fragility and tenacity
of life
Like Cotton Candy
seemingly spun
out of air
so delicate and sweet
Union
when wings
are petals
an intricate intimacy
Plight Of The Underappreciated
don’t forget me
the daylily implores
leaning into the spotlight
Green Mountain Garden
an acre tamed
the blooms are timed
beside the mountains so sublime
Stoplights
impossible
to pass on by
a moment’s pause demanded
Call To Worship
the garden grows
a temple complete
with spires of lavender light
The Threshold Needs No Gate
the green archway
an invitation to
the flowering realm
Flowering Planet
full
blue moons
orbiting beauty
Communion
oh to rest
in the sheltering wisdom
of the old, old tree
A Birdbath In Paradise
behind the house
an Eden grew that
we could visit anytime
Something For Everything
when worms
gaze up they get
a beautiful bloom too
A Setting
simple flower
contains
a daylong sunset
Blues
an ebb and flow
of blue and blue-er
a flowering waterfall
Rocketship
speeding towards
the setting of seed
destination perpetuity
Seated Meeting
in the stillness
and the silence
I meet meaning
Alfresco
without reservation
the table waits for
our laughter and crumbs
Unassuming Yarrow
mends the body
re-awakens the spirit
a healer for centuries
On A Hot Summer Day
the watering can
builds confidence
amongst the flowers
Beatific Guardrail
take the curve
with care
roses everywhere
