unsung, they hum
these workers who so diligently
uphold the world
Purpose Driven Life
Solitude
to bloom in solitude
is still
to bloom
Transfigurations
a shell without its beach
perhaps part caterpillar part cocoon
or just the hosta leaf
fossilized
Fluidity
hosta leaves
embody water’s
waves and current
The Fall
colors being absorbed
by roots
already nourishing spring
Details
fine lines and symmetry
the extraordinary
hosta leaf
Under The Crabapple In June
this tiny corner
of the world
lush in peacefulness
Good Manners
with the merest dip
of a curtsey
clematis greets the day
Green Goblets
waiting to be filled
with the drink of rain
before fully unfurling
Hatch
zeitgeist
of ladybugs
an abundance of being
Beautiful Goodbyes
as colors fade
the intricacies
of structure emerge
Simplicity As Palette
the hosta
is a minimalist
with a grand presentation of form
Apparition
the ghost
of hosta’s
past
What Leaving Leaves
behind
the missing spot
lies tomorrow
Obeisance
in deference
to the cold
hosta leaf curtsies
Great Green Loom
the garden
weaves a tapestry
of leaf and bloom
Beacon Home
burning bright
in summer days
flowering lamppost
Slow Rising
the earth awoke
with tiny blooms
as tulips trumpet spring
Be The Way
blue hosta leaf
lines leading to the start
of the universe
Painted
water colored
in greens and cream
hosta leaf
Night Light
The garden’s night light
guides the way to dawn.
Chartreuse Curves
With such bodacious leaves
there is no need to flower.
Space
Solace can often be found
in the space between.
Latticework
The master gardener
grows a burgundy trellis
and decorates with dots of dew.
