succor at the source
given and given
we are entwined by need
Geranium Rain
deluge of color
quenching the thirst
for joy
Faithful
every bud’s opening
was a restoration
of faith
Dichotomy
firebrand
of flowers
aflame in the rain
Growing Droplets
diminutive ones
ride the curve
to coalescence
Razzle Dazzle
red zig zagged petals
rick racked in fuchsia
perfection of pinks
Affluence
privileged
in the circumstance
of the cheer of one another
Be The Way
blue hosta leaf
lines leading to the start
of the universe
Madrigal
the colors
sang an aria
cantata of the garden
Secret Garden
tucked away
magic white bench
surveys the private paradise
The Picking Yard
flowers
pledged fidelity
to the kindness of the garden
First
among the many
only one is
first to bloom
Rendering
iridescent petals
conjure and render
beauty’s infinity
She of Infinite Possibility
broken free of spires
wild child of larkspur
captive of the garden
Sacred Emily
petals poised
in perfection
transcended by
her scent sublime
Outside
trees tell
tales of freedom
outside the garden fence
Cotillion
the required attire
is formal
fox gloves mandatory
Healing
time can
smooth and soften
the broken hard heart
Each and One
all together
the bud, the bloom, the pod
circle of life – beauty at every stage
Sewn
the spider’s thread
with tensile strength of steel
stitches dawn to day
Plain Jane
stalwart and steadfast
geranium who colors even winter
so often overlooked in summer’s prom of flowers
Peony Pleasures
swirl and twirl
of raspberry frappe
decadence mixed with delight
Invitation
the open gate
invites me
into the new day
Syringa
lavender notes
lilac’s music carries us
to fairyland
Modesty
so much
attention from the sun
petals blush
Dreamland
intoxicating
flutter and glow
a dreamland of poppies
Garden Party
plants and insects
celebrate
the first of summer’s days
Iris Interior
inside
the bloom
symmetry and silence
Beauty Before The Bloom
before the unfolding
the gathering of potential
and all possibilities
Everything
the garden holds
life and death with
Buddha at the center
