turn, turn, turn
in upon the self
end at the beginning
Spiral
Hearts Abound
seed pods and sugar houses
share the same wish
love, love, love
In Exchange
color leaving leaves
to redden berries and set the seeds
the bargain that autumn demands
Beautiful Chaos
a tangle of leggy blooms
waltzing together
stem to shin
Green Chaos
each leaf and stem
and bloom
holds a precise place
Golden Goblet
for the fairies banquet
fresh rain water served
with a leaf stem straw
Something For Everything
when worms
gaze up they get
a beautiful bloom too
The Painted Fern
a perfection
of details and form
waiting to be discovered
Feats of Beauty
despite
cold facts
a bloom
Even With
her back turned
she cannot withhold
her beauty
Thorns
could we meet
in the space
between the thorns
Sides
branched
right and left
both needing the stem
Stalked
the mighty squash
produces a stem
solid as a trunk
At The Root Of It
The humble turnip reveals
all the beauty, all the struggle
of life.
Leaf, Sky, Clouds
Through storms and bright blue bitter cold
tenacity holds the leaf to the stem.
Chipmunk
Stillness is my shield
as I hide behind a stem.
