when nothing is predictable
the beauty of a bloom
can be relied upon
Paradox
set free
by the fence
uninhibited and unafraid
delphinium bloom with abandon
Procession
ascending blooms
parade color
across summer
Great Scape
it’s a roller coaster ride
this being alive
said the cousin of the chive
Generosity
big hearted cosmos
ask so little and yet
bloom and bloom again
Centered
sigh of contentment
pink blushed bloom
the center of this moment
Petal Prayers
pink petaled benediction
blessed the time and tending
of the garden’s enduring grace
Brown Eyed
raindrops
on her sunny face
Susan sees all
Invitation
the whole wide world awaits
outside the garden gate
Devotion
to be waited for
and received in love
is the soul of homecoming
Complete
nothing more was needed
a gathering of self
the bouquet of a single bloom
Teachers
the wildflowers’ lesson
bloom with abandon
Tranquility
in the stillness
the beauty of everything
was amplified
Shout of Color
unexpected
burst of joy
zinnia in orange
Work Attire
soft as down
the bumblebee’s coat
silken fur of black and yellow
Assistance
cloudy day
the lupin shine
a blue that smiles for the sky
Panache
each petal
wore a glimmer
of lavender
Duo
perfection squared
tandem bloom
of festiva maxima
Transcendence
grace
is the alchemy
that blooms the bud
Cry for Courage
the unopened bud
soothed and softened
by heaven’s tears
Celebration of Ordinary Days
long stalked blooms
dance in the breeze
garden party
Metal Made
steely eyed
vegan heron
roughage predator
Alpinist
scaling petal peaks
mountaineering ant
ascends white ridge
Summer Home Solstice
in the kindness
of June’s gentle sun
babies feather and iris bloom
Evanescent
ebullience reigns
in the hours
of the iris
Found
when work is joy
your calling is found
En Masse
a pink cascade
rushes over
rocks
Opulence of Iris
purple iridescence
pours down
the petal
The Nature of Time
slowly thyme
makes its way
across the lawn of summer
Raconteur
the story
twice told
self and shadow
