no need to light the torch
the yellow rose bush
is blazing
Rose Flames
The Garden’s Centerpiece
a peony bowl
petals
holding light
Shinrin-yoko
in the light
soaking in the smells and sounds
luxuriate in a forest bath
Morning Light
finds its way
over the rock wall
into the shade garden
Darkness Receding
birds stirring
amongst the reeds
the marsh awakens
Determination
the light
always finds a way
to get through
Crocus In Light
in part
it seems
they create the light
Fern’s Filagree
fronds
scissoring shapes
into negative space
Beauty Mark
the lily’s
staining lipstick
pigment of the sun
The Way Of Faith
holding to the thought
light remains
even if obscured
Blue Sunset
a slice of light
between
dark and night
Painted By The Light And Seasons
the humble rock
becomes
a work of art
Longer Days
the light
fades away
ever more slowly
Torchlight
holding the sun
lighting the way
through mid-winter
Depth Of Light
sunshine
after the big snow
the world made new
Botanical Print
lingering leaves
a curtain
of light
Terraced Textures
each level
luxuriating
in light
The Commonplace Sublime
late November light
delivers the touch
of grace
In Autumn Light
we begin to see
the definitions
made by absence
Mysterious Waters
was that
the last of summer
swirling on the surface?
A Spell Is Cast
in autumn light
vision extends
into the forever
The Painter’s Eye
autumn is an impressionist
embuing everything
with the emotion of light
Forest Farolitos
shimmering
on the forest floor
pine luminaries
The River The Sunlight And Wind
painted an abstract
capturing
the whole of life
Autumn
shadows
are gaining ground
but light refuses full retreat
Last Hurrah
regardless
of the wear and tear
still exuding joy
Wrought Iron Pot
like a lantern
with a red flame of
beauty’s eternal light
After The Rain
every blade of grass
is a tiny torch
of guiding light
Exuberant Vulnerability
holding both
the fragility and tenacity
of life
Morning Light And Dew
the last
of the flower’s dreams
dispersing into day
