power – Leaf And Twig

Purple Midnight

a single bloom
comprises beauty’s
vast powers

such a small detail
thin fine line
the power of contrast

without containment
the symbol’s power
expands

deemed ordinary
delivering a spectacle
oh the muchness of marigolds

with the help of the sun
I focus my attention
on leafing and blooming

the power
to rise
intention under wings

oriole and eagle
the meeting
of beauty and power

water offers
a reflective reminder
of life’s fragile fluidity

rock and lichen
give rise to
new life’s watch tower

tulip tip
rocket ship
powered by color

declaring status
expressing power
identity construction

grounded
in the power of the earth
she hears and heeds
the spirit winds’
whispers of wisdom

physical form confined
mystical powers unfettered

The mystical powers
of Solomon’s Seal
turns the medicine wheel.

Tiny buds
huddle together soaking up sun
gathering the power to flower.

More beauty than the eye can hold,
enough to lift the soul.
