side by side
synchronicity
of bending blooms
Passageway
through darkness
into light
the journey’s substance
Rendezvous
perfect beginnings
the early morning
with my sweethearts
Spring Squares Off With The Summer Sun
spring bulbs
duel the sun
high noon in the garden
Bright Spot
early and delicate
light rises
from the dark ground
Hours of the Flower
blood root’s dawn
answers to the sun’s call
blood root’s noon
My Captured Heart
taken by
a special face
in the cheering crowd
Finding Purpose
seeking sun when young
making shade with age
the garden’s straw hat
Waking
sleepy heads
dewy eyed bulbs
rise from the garden bed
Omnivore
who knew?
chipmunks are
the early birds
Arbor Ador
aged arbor
speaks to me
of countless happy times
Beauty’s Labor
dirty petals
gathered round
protecting color
Arrangements
purple and green
each porcelain vase
awaits her tulip
Emergence
mandala of hearts
on the mill stone
loving what is
Vigil
in April’s grey
holding vigil
for the sun
Snowdrops In Shadow
emergence
from the darkness
hope’s spring eternal
Cold Petals
finery
of frost
a frozen flowering
Inchoate
held tight
inside the bud
color gathers force
Aflutter With Joy
heartbeat
of spring
crocus seen
Hope With Frost
eternal
desire to be
growing
Collection
in black and white
the billowing bloom
a leafing and blossom of snow
Knowing Better We Had Hoped Anyway
dashing the hope
of early spring
winter returned
The Rest of Winter
despite
our brief reprieve
winter waits in the wings
The Spot
the arbor
saving our place
through the long winter
Deceptive Delicacy
blooming through
the ferocious winter
beauty’s tenacity
Iris Wreath
a circle of life
dormancy
gives rise to rebirth
The Bench In Solitude
wind
rests on the bench
waiting for direction
Swimming In Air
rose hips
octopuses
a garden masquerade
Structure Made Known
leaf’s skeleton
revealed
bright white backbone
Passing Beauty
rhubarb wanes
beautiful passing
precision of fragility
