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
Arch of Hearts
in the garden
everything of importance happens
in its own time and way
Morning Song
robin
in the garden bed
fundamental joy
Be Thy Name
scarlet lipped goddess
her name be trillium
Understood
joy
jumps up
purple profundity
Conversion
raindrops on snowdrops
and so the seasons change
Mother Earth and Child
misty morn
in the valley of the lily
statuary sanctuary
Sun Flower
forsythia’s petal rays
in sunburst bloom
warm the landscape
Replenished
joy made tangible
those tender greens
make my heart sing
On The North Side
shade shelters the cold
allowing winter to persist
between pickets and pines
Keeping
pickets bravely attempt
to keep the sunshine
in the winter yard
Balance
Oh to be
a snowflake
balanced on a branch
set in place by grace
residing in a sacred place
