so delicate
the density
of color and joy
Saturation
For Insects
once each year
some trees
bloom blue
Lichen Rose
flower heads
slightly bowed
in reverence to the rain
Delve Into Details
in the bounty
of bloom
focus
The One With Many Names
sand flower, windflower, prairie smoke
heralding spring and symbolic of old age
she’s of everything
Always In April
and sometimes in May
a snowfall surprises
freshly unfurled leaves
Miraculousness
the daring of the early bloomer
tiny yellow trumpets
hail the sun
Stillness And Then Departure
remnants of the wasp nest
disintegrating leaves
upon a bed of departing snow
Flowering Rock
a blush
of pastel pink
a granite bloom
Picture Puzzle
some pieces
are made of
space
Gilding
it was sunshine
that applied
gold leaf
Flowers From A Friend
I submerge into
the sweetness and solace
of scent and colors
I Awoke At The Ocean
sand dollars gathered
on the shoreline
of cold
The Bronze Leaf
a meritorious achievement
of rescuing winter
from the encompassing grey and white
On Cold Nights
the angels
dress the windows
with fleur de liys
Quiet Plea
the birch tree
left a note
honor everything
Abstract Of Rickrack
zig zagging leaves
circle
upon themselves
Flowing Rock
history
is made of
change
Step Around
stars twinkling
at our feet
the sky is upside down
Inward Growth
the hallowed tree
reveals
the roots of branches
To Be Like Rain
droplets
hang on
like hope
Cold Outline
the world
newly illustrated
by frost’s fine lines
Each One A Part
nestled
shoulder to shoulder
in the grand design
Aging
time reveals
the structures behind
suppleness
Hot Spot
a maple ember
burning bright
on a freezing morn
Graceful Exit
in leaving
the leaving of self
behind
Milkweed Meteorite
the flight
well worth
ablation and impact
Frosting
these leaves
sugared
with cold
Cousins
like the cabbage rose
so blooms
the wood rose
Wearing Rings Like Saturn
from the forest floor
emerges
another universe
