the orchid’s dance
of color, light, shape and size
is danced in stillness
Gorgeousness
Sometimes
change demands
breaking apart and disappearances
to miraculously reveal a new whole
Magnifying Glasses
every drop
a new opportunity
to see more
Like Lightening
ivy veins
electrified
with living
Fig Leaf
in an attempt
to cover the sun
more of itself revealed
Purity Of Line
a rise
and fall
of color and form
The Night’s Needlework
shuttle of cold
looping and knotting
night into lace
The Petunia Looking Back
deep inside
a piercing
green eye
Intricacies
morning sun
through feathered cold
how night lingers on the window
One of Many
the shadow reveals
another definition
of self
Within
hidden inside
tiny delicate flowers
can’t help but bloom
Magnolia
latticework
of bud and branch
holding up blue sky
Winter’s Pattern
covered branches
the forest’s
cable knit sweater
Obeisance
in deference
to the cold
hosta leaf curtsies
Appreciation
moment
with a flower
highlight of the hour
Following Directions
houseplant’s leaf
color leading
to the great outdoors
Eyelet River
lacing the surface
cold threading
shore to shore
Fleeting Forever
kindling beauty
the birch branch pile
nature’s ephemeral immortality
Presage of the Leaves
geranium begins
fall’s colors
creeping in
Practice
mediation
on lavender and grey
fern’s delicate display
Begonia Umbrella
beneath
the begonia leaf
parasol perfection
The Sea in the Sky
cloud waves
crashing on the shores
of a grey May day
Logarithmic Bloom
Fibonacci’s code
unfurling the golden mean
of beauty’s geometry
Plaid of March
the kilted woods
wearing a tartan
of tree and shadow
Hard Won Purchase
granite and ice
a cold hard home
for velvet moss
Be The Way
blue hosta leaf
lines leading to the start
of the universe
Beseeching
bloodroot’s leaf
clasped in prayer
beseeching blooms
Unfolding
news beauty unfolds
as time and growth
reveals and renews
