be with
a dahlia bathed in sunlight
and feel your spirit rise
A Cure
Basking
washed with heat
colors cleaned
spirit revived
Sharing Blossoms
to catch a butterfly’s eye
be still enough to recognize
a kindred spirit
At The Edge Of A New Day I Wonder
what spirits reside
in that rising mist
what will they teach today?
I Am Lifted
silently you rise
taking my spirit
with you
Being Found
nocturnal friend’s
afternoon visit delivers
a message of hope
Safe Harbor
anchors down
spirits buoyed
by community
She Remains Near
Nana’s spirit
wafting through the garden
on the scent of roses
Wander The Garden
the spirit restores
finding the space of place
along gracious paths
Unassuming Yarrow
mends the body
re-awakens the spirit
a healer for centuries
Blending In
wearing the colors
of your surrounds
your spirit flashes through
Shade Upon Shade Of Blue
with my eyes
I wade into the sky
to cleanse and refresh my spirit
Cathy’s Chrysanthemums
her spirit visits
each year bringing us
flowers to remember her with
Renewal
autumn’s intensity
of color and light
renews my spirit
Cardinal
sighting you
brings delight
as deep as your color
Alighted Illumination
one leaf only
chosen
by the light
Seen From Above
heaven’s clouds recognize
the tiny speck
as the church’s steeple
Two Came Together
summertime visit
from dear friends
long departed
Granite Face
head cocked
piercing eye
shy smile
No Longer A Stranger
in nature found
a reacquaintance
with self
Tree Spirit
all seeing
knot hole eye
mouth of the missing branch
Taking It In
sunning yourself
on the fencepost
spirit in light
Ghost Tree
times’s skeleton
a spirit
amidst mist
Small White Butterfly
spirit
of a dear friend
visiting again
Wild Flowers With Fence
the spot where
spirit meets
with daily life
Written By The Garden
a poem
made of
space
Helene
garden’s goddess
overseeing beauty
from beyond
No Need To Ask
no longer here
yet everywhere
you are not forgotten
The Maple’s Ghost
floated by
gracefully entering
the next dimension
The Spirit’s Residence
woods
between the trees
sanctuary
