the landscape sighs
making space
for the new year
Wake
morning comes
to the dahlia sun
rousing the sleeping bee
Slow Rising
the earth awoke
with tiny blooms
as tulips trumpet spring
Green Laurels
undaunted
spring’s victory crown
rises
Kasco
rising
into flight
spirit casting shadow
Afloat
lilies rose
the water bloomed
hope floats
Rising
The sun’s warming rays
reach the depths of the pond
summoning fish to the surface.
