each frond
a question
just forming
Curlicues
Statuesque
in stone
and petaled forms
a nobility of beauty

the hosta
is a minimalist
with a grand presentation of form

as everything changes
keep flowering
as long as you can
For The Bees
the garden bed
a candy store
offering lavendar lollipops

she-wolf
running wild

out of the darkness
into the light
Still Being With Her Whilst She Is Gone
Jane’s
rose arbor
in the afternoon
Painted
paintbrush
of wildflowers
depicts summer bloom
The Making of Light
maximized sunshine
the white light
of snow
Trimming
the eaves
wear a tatting of ice
fastened by a shuttle of cold
In Winter’s Grey
patch of light
in the field out back
salvation
Miles of Garland
the landscape
does her decorating
in berries, leaves and weather
Last Dance
summer’s
last light danced
across the lawn
Gladness
holding
and emanating
the lightness of being
Look
two bright poppy eyes
one wears shade
mascara-ed stamens
The Amplification of Being
deep silence
listening to
the shadows move
Splash
hot day
refreshed by
a splash of color

stark space made by winter
prior home of earliest spring

leaves teaching
the positive aspect
of negative space
Defiance
blazing colors
defy the drought
and celebrate the heat
Shine
August sun
the heart of heat
lighting everything from within
Summer Games
dappled and darting
sunbeams and birch trees
play tag in the woods
The Explorers
emerging from their rock wall den
into the bright morning light
and hunting lessons
Found Again
walk in the woods
with sunlight and fairies
Eden has not been lost
Which
that fire in the sky
is it creation
or the god’s displeasure
Beseeching
bloodroot’s leaf
clasped in prayer
beseeching blooms
Both
living tableau
the vernal pond’s
abstraction and fact
The Music Played
concert at the vernal pond
the flutist serenades
obligate and facultative inhabitants
The Enoughness of Nothing
in nothing
everything
rejoiced
