and see
how trees reach
for heaven
Lift Your Eyes
Wishes Plant Hope
the wind
will send them into the world
these hopes for peace, equality, freedom
to take root in every nook and cranny of the land
Finally The Sun Came Out
after so many days of rain
there is warmth and light
and the earth rises up
in color and hope
Arrival
the crocus arrived
as an outpost
of hope
Grocery Store Blooms
I purchased some hope
from isle thirteen
giving myself early spring
The Dried Hydrangea
in the bedroom vase
she carried color and hope
all through the long winter
The River Is A Rainbow
throwing colors
and hopefulness
across the landscape
Like Icicles
suspended by
a tenacity
of hope and faith
Reassurance
the moon, good friend
reminding me
the darkness will not hold
February Dandelions
perennial hope
winter wished
for yellow blooms
Patience And Perseverance
amongst the snow
a dreaming blossom bud
and hope made manifest
After Many Gray Days
some blue sky
a saving grace
and hope renews
A Sliver Is Enough
the storm recedes
the moon appears
a hook for hope
Anemone And Oak Leaf
still blooming and setting bud
even as the leaves fall
illustration of hope
Deliverance
in the fullness of the sun
the deepest darkness
broken open
Raised Beds
the starts have started
hope and weeding
precede the harvest
To The Right And Left
here in the center
of the spring garden
hope materialized and amassed
April On The Marsh
a small hole
in the cloud cover
blue breaking through
The Bend
up ahead
some light
an encouragement to hope
Spring Dreams
all the world in bloom
and emanating
the green glow of hope
Go Slow
on the dirt road
through the greening valley
witness hope unfurling before you
They Make The Sunshine
let the flowers
light
the way
Promise
on the broken branch
in the ice
verdant thriving
Daydream Of Spring
with this blue sky
those raindrops
may bloom into flowers
For The Storm Weary
daylight
makes some candles
just in case
It Has Been And So I Believe
morning always comes
trust in that
is my nightlight
Determination
the light
always finds a way
to get through
The Mercy Of Houseplants
while it snows
the primrose blooms
conjuring spring
The Way Of Faith
holding to the thought
light remains
even if obscured
Color Lifts Us Up
long grey day
and then a saving
flash of blue
