opens out
to cradle the rain

thrice she gives…
this flower after the bloom
and then her rain of seed
Cry for Courage
the unopened bud
soothed and softened
by heaven’s tears
May I
welcome are the clouds
of April’s dappled skies
who shower us with colors
Bare Clothesline
October afternoon
only rain
hangs on the line
Dandelion Rain
if the sun came like rain
dandelions would be its drops
Run Off
never lost
water always
finds its way home
Wishbone
Trees wish for rain and sun
a gentle wind, the song of birds
room to breathe and time to grow
Change
a heaven sent rain
the glorious mud
season change
In The Rain
shorter days
sweeten
the crabapples
Care
Heaven bathes the sweet pea
with the gentlest of raindrops.
Blue with Butterfly
Rest among the raindrops.
Blue flowers bloom without the sun.

When flowers weep
fairies call out the sun
to dry their tears.
Potential
the bud holds tight
to blossom
is still a dream

While the garden is watered
I shelter with the maple.

in the rain
her colors intensified

Magnolia rains
her beauty
on to the lawn.

heralding spring’s spectacle.

the elder trees encourage
the young sapling to
show its joy in color

rain drops into the pond
ripples merge
into the whole.
Thirst
The birdbath
calls out
for rain

Raspberry colored beauties
undeterred by the weather
wear raindrops like diamonds.
Change
The thunderhead rolls in
soon to darken the blue sky with rain
and throw lightening bolts like Zeus.
Watercolors
In a hard rain
the autumn colors blur
into an impressionistic painting.
Rock Wall
God is here in this rock wall,
in the mind that planned it, in the hands that made it,
in the earth that holds it, in the rain that will wash it,
in the snow that will gather on it, and the sun that dries it.
