the world rages
in the woods
peace reigns
Seek Refuge
As The Sun Rises
the remaining night
darkens
the aster’s blue
The Three
the same
while still
distinctly self realized
Green Goblets
waiting to be filled
with the drink of rain
before fully unfurling
Clouds Churned
whipped
by the wind
a cream topping
Talking Sticks
the insects path
tell
the woodland’s story
If Summer Could Go On Forever
sunflowers would
shine their cheerful light
through winter’s dark night
A Place In The Sun
kissed
and surrounded
by a warm embrace
Reformation
pinked
from chilly nights
dew and disintegration
One of Many
the shadow reveals
another definition
of self
When The Senses Become One
lamb’s ear
listening
to light
Guilelessness
all of beauty’s
every sustenance
in the simple rose
I Do
summer weds itself
carrying bouquets
of sweet william
Undulating Color
the garden an ocean
peony blooms as if
a sea anemone
Fledgling
first flight
first landing
parents made proud
Perfection Realized
to see her
cup the sunlight
in her perfect petals
Azalea Ablaze
taking
her moment
in summer’s spotlight
Indian Paintbrush’ed
like watercolors
prairie fire bleeds color
across the landscape
Illumination
lantern by
the flowering tree
beauty is the light
Her Delicate Majesty
the queen
in light and shadow
the shimmer of her flowerless crown
Beautiful Noise
boom
loud colors
of squash blossom’s bloom
Set Upon By The Sun
joyful sparks
in Nonnie’s garden
columbine catch fire
Dance Partners
light and shadow
tango
through May
Penciled In
barest
outlines of colors
before leaves unfurl
Rendezvous
perfect beginnings
the early morning
with my sweethearts
Spring Squares Off With The Summer Sun
spring bulbs
duel the sun
high noon in the garden
Until Tomorrow
cheerful wave
the end of day
colors of goodbye
Whale Back
black rock
breaches snow
leaf waves splash
Hues and Shades
morning light
the sky is painted
in clouds and white
Humming Summer’s Tune
sound signals
a brief
appearance
