quench the thirst
for beauty by
drinking in her loveliness
Pink Peony Perfection
Hail Makers
when warm hits cold
and dark meets light
the collision is hard as ice
Mid-June
the garden comes into herself
and is as self realized
as the poppy is vibrant
Umbrella Of Sunshine
casting light
creating shelter
from gloom
June Wedding
the chosen spot
for the marriage of lupin and iris
beneath a Chuppah made by trees
Abstract On Leaf
the leaf a living canvas
of shape and form
color and texture
Morning Meditation
Mable
on the porch
admiring the bleeding hearts
The Way To Oz
buttercups
paved my
yellow brick road
Liberty
wild phlox
along the river bank
roaming wherever it chooses
Summer Morning
an invitation
to linger in
a long lazy day
Happiness
a smile spread
across the garden
pink azalea in bloom
The Source
impossible to know
illumination
or glow
Cautious Exploration
is it safe?
let me look further
then I’ll give you a high sign
I Remember
the sweet comfort
of your companionship
felt now at the sighting of our flower
Summer Flew In
June morning
the world opened wide
all possibilities expanded
Horological Botany
dandelion sundial
yellow petal hands
telling summer’s time
In The Garden
sitting with
the flowers
my soul is at home
Locomotion
the weather is a train
billowing her steam clouds
as she travels south
Quaker Ladies
they gathered
in abundance
to worship spring
So Many Things At Once
a tomato
a fiery sunset
a vixen’s red lip wear
oh begonia you beguiler
Taking Form
the woods
are full of questions
finding their full shape
Granite Garden Path
walk the sun warmed stone
admire the colorful creep of phlox
perceive spring’s unfolding
Winged Bloom
in white and pink
the trillium releases
her flock of butterflies
I Came Across
a woodland shrine
of birch bark and mushroom
with a fern leaf offering
humble and holy
The Bloom Of Light
after many gray days
the sun itself
is a flower
and a flower
is a mirror
to the sun
Pretty Precipitation
petal shower
at the meadow’s edge
so many kinds of rain
The Radiance Is You
when the day is dim
make your own light
with the colors you share
Sweet Dreams
after a sudden rain
some sunset sneaks by
the bedroom window
The Valley In Spring
clouds flying free
the rail fence meanders
as trees converse in green
Sea Of Iris
spring’s tide rises
the iris swell
incubating their bloom wave
