keep an eye on the road
and a head in the weeds
and bring all your quills home
Brief Encounter
a flash of colors
I am flushed with hope
even when only gray remains
Underworld
bottoms up
five dive
down
Sweet Hellenium
curly top
lollipop
bonbon of colors
Each Flower An Offering
every petal
a spectacle
and petition of beauty
Afloat
lilies rose
the water bloomed
hope floats
Procession
ascending blooms
parade color
across summer
Generosity
big hearted cosmos
ask so little and yet
bloom and bloom again
Centered
sigh of contentment
pink blushed bloom
the center of this moment
Brown Eyed
raindrops
on her sunny face
Susan sees all
Invitation
the whole wide world awaits
outside the garden gate
Teachers
the wildflowers’ lesson
bloom with abandon
Tranquility
in the stillness
the beauty of everything
was amplified
Assistance
cloudy day
the lupin shine
a blue that smiles for the sky
Countryseat
in their meadow kingdom
lupin minarets flank
bluebirds’ castle
Cry for Courage
the unopened bud
soothed and softened
by heaven’s tears
Green Glade
in the quiet
nature’s voice
is heard
Alpinist
scaling petal peaks
mountaineering ant
ascends white ridge
Evanescent
ebullience reigns
in the hours
of the iris
Shooting Up
late spring
growth spurt
adolescent pine
Herd on the Hill
the gentle slope
the tender grass
sweet lazy grazing
Brief Visit
spring wears white
in polkadot leaves and petal snow
until the wilting sun asks her to go
The Look
breath held
drawing strength from stillness
mother eyes the giant intruder
Passerby
blossoming branch
bright blue sky
busy bee passing by
Here
know thyself
and love thyself
and everywhere is home
Strike Up The Band
a violet and white
parade of quaker ladies
adorns May’s main street
Prosperity of Petals
exquisite elegance
the flowering tree
animates abundance
Grace
the world
leafs out and blossoms
answering all lingering
winter prayers
Morning Song
robin
in the garden bed
fundamental joy
Be Thy Name
scarlet lipped goddess
her name be trillium
