forest floor
strewn with
jewels
Maiden Hair Fern
the fairest
of them
all
In The Subtle Shift Of Light
the clouds, the leaves, the grasses
all ride
the wind of season’s change
Time Travel
there goes the wind
through the trees
carrying time
Matching Outfits
bird
and flowers
dressed alike
Stages
the beauty
inside
yet to be seen
Small White Butterfly
spirit
of a dear friend
visiting again
Reverence
moment of stillness
gratitude
for this day
Pink Halo
columbine departs
trinity of trinity
leaves asunder
Helene
garden’s goddess
overseeing beauty
from beyond
Verse
line of hearts
love sonnet
from the garden
Penciled In
barest
outlines of colors
before leaves unfurl
Together
side by side
synchronicity
of bending blooms
Hours of the Flower
blood root’s dawn
answers to the sun’s call
blood root’s noon
Beauty’s Labor
dirty petals
gathered round
protecting color
Resolve
barely
weathered by winter
the enduring oak
Inchoate
held tight
inside the bud
color gathers force
Hope With Frost
eternal
desire to be
growing
Sugared Leaves
the season of sweetness
not just
maple’s dominion
Well Matched
unexpected warmth
a shaft of light
the robin’s table set
Stop Action
the world stirs
then stops again
spring’s incremental approach
Whale Back
black rock
breaches snow
leaf waves splash
Murmuration
flight
of the frozen
ice bird flock
Wind
tethered
by their stems
leaves seek flight
Hens and Chicks
their
feather edges
serrated with frost
Encouragement
stepping stones
in the mossy path
invitation to the woods
Miles of Garland
the landscape
does her decorating
in berries, leaves and weather
Where The Colors Lead
rainbow’s end
gold adorned
the leaves
At Beauty’s Behest
from the edge
of the pink woods
step into wonderland
Warm Memory To Store For Winter
a Saturday landscape
the playful breeze
and laughing leaves
