speeding towards
the setting of seed
destination perpetuity
Rocketship
Each One A Part
shoulder to shoulder
in the grand design
Morning Sun
light bright enough
to rouse
all sleeping seeds
Hollyhock Perpetuity
seeding
the future
so goes eternity
In April
in earthen beds
beneath another snow
seeds shake off their sleeping caps
Matching Outfits
bird
and flowers
dressed alike
Cold Bur
frost still fills
the space we’ve saved
for the warming sun
Homemaking
seeds ready for flight
intentions set on next season’s
home for monarchs
Afterlife
ghosts of summer
seeding the future
with their return
Going to Seed
fragile yellow lace
sturdy blue crowns
August counterparts
At The Green House
breathing in green
all the starts and stirrings
of potential
Flight Delay
milkweed seeds shiver
reluctant to fly
side by side with the snow
Luminary
snowing light
the maple tree’s
luminosity
Holding Light
serene in uncertainty
possibilities tumble
into the unknown
Seeding Sun
a galaxy of seeds
infinity without
beginning or end
Meadowland
lupin shared their secrets
of beauty, bloom and seed
summer spread across the field
First Stirrings
seeds slumber while
forced bulbs bloom
in late winter’s light
To Be Called
each and every seed
listens and waits
for the wind to call its name
inviting its flight on silken wings
Black Capped
songbird on
the seed bell
dee dee dee
chickadee
Before
a flower
before the season for flowers
blossom of seeds
August Pond
autumn whispers
on the wind
casting seeds
amidst the greens
Sunflower Power
temptation
bests the birds
they sample seeds
too raw to be ready
Lupin
flower of the roman empire
conquers fields
with abundant seed
Ceaseless
gone are the flowers
gone are the seeds
and still she blooms
The Choir
Seedheads sing
winter’s carols
in the wind.
Halo
Blessed is the humble seed
who is the spirit of the earth
Homemaking
seeds take
feathered flight
for monarchs’ sake.
Yield
The garden’s harvested bounty
carries a weary spirit towards spring
in the colors of dried petals and the promise of seeds.
Slumber
Seeds rest in husk beds
dreaming
of their spring morning.
Sunflower
The lighthouse of flowers
shinning the way to happy days
for lost or weary souls.
