amongst the snow
a dreaming blossom bud
and hope made manifest
Patience And Perseverance
She Wears
freckles
with which
to charm the bees
Helen’s Birdbath Fountain
unabashed
spectacle
of Helen’s joy
Inchoate
held tight
inside the bud
color gathers force
Bloom Sounds
pink pow
of mountain laurel
pop pop pop
Haven
shelter in the rhododendron
waiting out winter
alongside flower buds
Found
when work is joy
your calling is found
