ready to swing wide open
for any and all
kinds of kindness and love
February’s Gate
The Remembrance Bench
from heaven
you will spot me
beneath the enormity of trees
l Learned It From The Leaves
part was missing
it made me love
what was left more
One Of Those Two In Love
Mrs. Mourning Dove
assumes her post
awaiting his return
A Scattering
the lovely wind
left
kisses behind
The Space That Absence Holds
it is
the place
where love remains
The Quiet Constance Of A Cairn
the sun
is always shining
on my memories of you
Nana’s Dooryard Garden
her welcome
always joyous
and abundant
Abiding Love
so many hearts
as much love
as the world needs
And Your Heart Skips A Beat
sweet as a kiss
upon your cheek
pink tulip’s bloom
Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate
at the flower’s
request
love and affection
Love’s Labor
tools
of tending and caring
await their service
Verse
line of hearts
love sonnet
from the garden
No Need To Ask
no longer here
yet everywhere
you are not forgotten
Emergence
mandala of hearts
on the mill stone
loving what is
Aflutter With Joy
heartbeat
of spring
crocus seen
Freed Masonry
the rock wall
grew a monument
to love and loss and living
My Darling Rose
wild grows
my perennial love
her precious winter bloom
Before You
the thing
to be loved is
what is
Inside
we gather
together in the warmth
of each other
In Love
red poppies
in dappled light
kisses from the garden
The Garden’s Valentine
each spot of red
a beloved’s kiss
such adoration bestowed
Dendrites
wisdom grown
of fear or love
the web becomes the path
Mum
the one
whose love
never tires
To Every Thing
rose on leaves
in the season
of love
Steadfast in Love
grandmother apple tree
reaches out to me
pressing love and sweetness
into my hands
Missive of Love
the red of the barn
ablaze in the February sun
landscape’s valentine
Eventually
what separates us
will shatter or melt
if we stay with love
Goddess’ Gift
ruby red traces
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love
of Aphrodite’s shower of kisses
the world awakens to love
Home Made
humble abode
heartfelt mansion
love feathered nest
