succulents

Always Living

despite the lows of cold
the moss and Sempervivum
the brave and hearty Heuchera
keep on and on

color’s intensity
provides a quick trip
to the tropics

rosied by cold
snuggled into rocks
a carpet of bloom

succulent roses
tenacious as barnacles
cling to the end of autumn

brown tipped
feathers
of hens and chicks

ocean of pink
succulent stonecrop’s
tiny blossoms undulate
