hosta – Leaf & Twig

Green Goblets

waiting to be filled
with the drink of rain
before fully unfurling

zeitgeist
of ladybugs
an abundance of being

as colors fade
the intricacies
of structure emerge

the hosta
is a minimalist
with a grand presentation of form

the ghost
of hosta’s
past

behind
the missing spot
lies tomorrow

in deference
to the cold
hosta leaf curtsies

the garden
weaves a tapestry
of leaf and bloom

burning bright
in summer days
flowering lamppost

the earth awoke
with tiny blooms
as tulips trumpet spring

blue hosta leaf
lines leading to the start
of the universe

water colored
in greens and cream
hosta leaf

The garden’s night light
guides the way to dawn.

With such bodacious leaves
there is no need to flower.

Solace can often be found
in the space between.

The master gardener
grows a burgundy trellis
and decorates with dots of dew.
