hollyhock – Leaf And Twig

From The Past The Future

shadow of the hollyhock’s
gift wrapped seeds
ghost of summer, prophet of spring

sweet nothings
the bee whispers
to the hollyhock’s bloom

the closer I look
the more my view expands
and resonates with memories

impossible
to pass on by
a moment’s pause demanded

hollyhock corsage
every one is invited
to summer’s dance

seeding
the future
so goes eternity

hollyhock
by Caravaggio
art al fresco

sit awhile
and listen to
the flowers conversation

at the river bend
triumvirate of hollyhock
bow to the current

packaged for next season
a small green purse
contains new beginnings

The hollyhock
regally presides
over August.
