autumn
sneaking in
amidst the green
Leaves, Reeds, Lilies
The Wind At Your Back
a gentle guiding hand
encouraging
the moving forward
Meadow Of Milkweed
beautiful this offering
of sustenance
for transformation
The Cooling Pool
shoes off
slip into the soft silt
and cool caress
The Garden Impression
each bloom
its own
bold brush stroke
Wishbone
the river and the tree
share the wish
of deliverance
A Royal Court Of Sorts
a gathering
the queens in bloom
ruling wild grass
Barely There
within a camouflage
of pollen and reflections
ducks converge
Art Appreciation
I sat and watched
the clouds create
a moving mosaic
Rocky Way
the obstructed path
a lesson in
attention and intentionality
Down The River
only water knows
the future that lies
around the bend
This Is How
verdant shimmering light
dancing on dark depths
hope floats
At The Bog
summer flying by
faster than
the wide wide sky
The Day Stretched Out Before Us
its wonders
to be
discovered
Hold On
the obstacle
embraced
and so overcome
Spirit House
presence in absence
a hollow holding
generations of wisdom
Along A Curving Bank
the preciousness
of August water
conserved
Passage To Happiness
in the kindness
of dappled shade
an invitation to join
the flowering sunshine
Pink Haze
with the slightest breeze
these watercolor wands
paint the landscape pink
Ferns So High
the understory
three feet tall
another hidden world
Arborvitae And Astilbe
regiments of green and purple
leaf and flower
guarding summer
Heat
August sun
so sharp and strong
the wooded shade
a cooling pool
Boardwalks
the forest laid
a second softer path
for tender chipmunk feet
A Favored Place
sitting on a warm stone
feet submerged in smooth cool
the perfect way to bridge a summer day
Summer Sidewalk
each day
a bloom
in the sun
Unveiling Of Wonder
one finger of light
ignites
the sense of magic
Wading Though Flowers
the friendly bees and I
share and tenderly explore
this wonderland of blooms
Deep In The Green
the brook
dissolves into
a sea of foliage
A Ray Of Light Across The Brook
the stones
invite me
to walk on water
Bravery
to rise
into the unknown
choosing life
