a protection
like being held
in strong arms
The Tree’s Shade
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
Everything Rises
as morning sidles
to the edge of the garden
the gingko bows to the day
The Garden Bench
in morning shade
watching
a summer day unfold
Trust
enter the mystery
of today’s
exquisite unknown
Singular Kindness
blazing sun
but shade
for Buddha
Moving Pictures
the day
unfurls itself
between the fence rails
Many Shades
blue on blue
butterfly in
the bachelor buttons
A Dog’s Life
overseeing
the world
from a shady spot
Bright Spot
early and delicate
light rises
from the dark ground
Finding Purpose
seeking sun when young
making shade with age
the garden’s straw hat
