everything extending
the last of their essence
veritas of beauty
In The Valley Of The Lily
Early Departure
each hole
a doorway where
life passes through

deep in the forest
in the dark and the silence
a coral reef grew

and so the mushroom
replicates
the tree’s rings of life

when buffeted
by life’s breezes
hold fast to the bloom

in the garden
prowling amongst blooms

spinning color
to the tips
of her petals
Home Sprouts
from the nourishing earth
a village
of tiny homes
Althea
a bit of a strumpet
flaunting her trumpet
enticing hummingbirds and bees
Microscopic Astronauts
the ground grew
a space station ready
to launch spores into flight

in an attempt
to cover the sun
more of itself revealed
The Garden Dreamt An Ocean
shoal
of red octopi
floating in the rosebush
The Butterfly’s Season
floating
’round the blossoms
courting beauty
A Blush Before Blooming
shy buds
gathering the confidence
to bloom
Green Chaos
each leaf and stem
and bloom
holds a precise place
After The Rain
every blade of grass
is a tiny torch
of guiding light

holding both
the fragility and tenacity
of life
Like Cotton Candy
seemingly spun
out of air
so delicate and sweet
Emergence
the forest
ever birthing
new life
Purity Of Line
a rise
and fall
of color and form
Golden Goblet
for the fairies banquet
fresh rain water served
with a leaf stem straw
Something For Everything
when worms
gaze up they get
a beautiful bloom too
A Setting
simple flower
contains
a daylong sunset
Who Knew
it was possible
for a poppy
to be fringed
No Envy In The Garden
each flower
their own perfection
beyond comparision
Elegant Service
a pink cup
holding cream fringe
an offering of splendor
Dancing Ladies
slender legs
and tiny ballet slippers
emerge from the petaled tutu
Simplicity
orange pansy
a magnificence
of minimalism
A World Of Purple
separate plants
find kinship
in color
Definition
known by
the outlined edges
of her boundaries
