birch in the sun
are echoed as
icicles in shade
Seen And Seen Again
Venetian Blinds
shade
is drawn
by leaves
Amongst Blooms
in the petaled shade
a monarch’s
momentary pause
After Labor Day
summer’s heat
still shimmers
in the tall grass
Another Scorcher
wading in
deep shade
on a hot summer day
Could It Be
the details
on the butterfly’s wing
cast light instead of shadows
The Garden’s Green Surf
the shade
like wave sets
crashing on the lawn
Rose Flames
no need to light the torch
the yellow rose bush
is blazing
Summer Is Unbridled
when
the wild flowers
roam
The Tree’s Shade
a protection
like being held
in strong arms
Portrait Of A Tulip Aflame
stepping from the shade
blazing, blazing
like the sun
High Summer
the sun at her zenith
the shade deepens
all things ever balancing
Wander The Garden
the spirit restores
finding the space of place
along gracious paths
Happenings In Forest Time
sunshine makes for shade
as the river flows
and mushrooms grow
Communion
oh to rest
in the sheltering wisdom
of the old, old tree
Down The Road
the blessed old barn
storing our histories
of summer
On A Hot Summer Day
the watering can
builds confidence
amongst the flowers
Shelter From The Blistering Sun
our beloved tree
a great green umbrella
offering shade and sanctuary
The Three
the same
while still
distinctly self realized
Flock Of Trillium
in they flew
on angel wings
or so it seems
If Summer Could Go On Forever
sunflowers would
shine their cheerful light
through winter’s dark night
Savoring The Sunshine
summer has not yet
opened the gate
to fall
Another Gift Freely Given
a generous benefactor
the forest’s shade
on a hot summer day
Shade Garden
each bloom
a beacon
of light
Dog Days
it is good
to run in the brook
and dash through sun and shade
The Princess Tree
voluminous pink
in every shade and hue
adorned her
Looking Into The Light
even sunflowers
need
some shade
To Be Chosen
flowers await
their moment
in the sun
Summer’s Best Friend
take shelter
in the sweet shade
of the dear old tree
The Garden At Noon
from the shade
I take a long drink
of her colors
