learning from the meadow
I will try to love
the still gray sky and stubborn snow
The Restlessness Of March
Valentine
primrose
blooming love
to everyone
Deer’s Graffiti
one delicate hoof
writes a message
of love
Remaining
the couple
sustaining each other
in bloom
The Leaving
the parts
no longer there
filled in by memory
Found
there was a lot of leaving
but some love
stayed behind
Grandma’s Roses
spilling everywhere
like her love her roses
cannot be contained
The Loving Landscape
red barn valentine
from the farm
to every passerby
They Stay
leaves devoted to their branch
despite the wind and wilt
it must be love that keeps them there
Hearts Abound
seed pods and sugar houses
share the same wish
love, love, love
The Romantics
they meet each dawn
in the flowering meadow
just to gaze into each other’s eyes
February’s Gate
ready to swing wide open
for any and all
kinds of kindness and love
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
