eternal rock
seasonal bloom
a passing butterfly
Unity
branch mirrors
the horse’s shape
all is one
Gazing into Eternity
thoughtful
wise eye
sees beyond
Stand Out
spotlight of sun
backdrop of woodland shade
flowering stalk takes a star turn
Wild Apples
untamed
they grew
particularized
Morning Sojourn
solitary amble
in the domain
of the ferns
Aspirations
divine
white iris
aspires to heaven
Backward Glance
filled with instinct
no doubts exist
smirking confidence
Snow in Summer
as similar
and individual
as snowflakes
Counterparts
basking in
May’s golden light
juxtaposed by shadow
Primary Colors
yellow bird
amid red buds
awaits blue sky
Irregardless
in the sunless day
lift your head
anyway
Concentration
like the eye
of a hurricane
stillness at the center
Faith
be still
in the darkness
for the light will find you
Portals
life passes through
on the way
to the great beyond
Resonance
in the echo
your song
is sung anew
Withstanding
despite
a freezing night
still she blooms
Vision
amidst glimmer and glint
long legged glamour
gorgeousness afoot
Doe with the Purple Lupin
wading through
the fern fronds
the world a sea of green
Unaccompanied
even in the solitude
every gesture mattered
conversation with self
Each and One
all together
the bud, the bloom, the pod
circle of life – beauty at every stage
Kit
self possessed
the surety of instinct
edges out all doubt
Syringa
lavender notes
lilac’s music carries us
to fairyland
The Explorers
emerging from their rock wall den
into the bright morning light
and hunting lessons
Purple Iris Solo
in the stillness
every line and curved
danced
New
everything a wonder
the world
is brand new
Remembered
forget me not
the gentlest reminder of
the enormity of tiny pleasures
Communion
gentle look
from a wild friend
all otherness expunged
Entwined
milkweed pods
and raspberry canes
lovers entwined
Of Rust and Roses
the old boxcar
and winter rose in spring
companions in endings
