sending out
a siren’s call
to hummingbirds and bees
Affluence
privileged
in the circumstance
of the cheer of one another
Flickering
fairy candle
lights the way
into autumn’s darkening days
Love Charm
crimson roots give rise
to the pristine white
purity of petals
Properties
behind the tissue paper petals
resides the magic of relief and sleep
Midwife
forest maiden
mother’s helper
harbinger of spring
The Queen
Wild sainted
herb of Eve
bestows freedom of choice.
