a memory of last summer’s sun
the winter field not yet touched
by the greens of spring
Sanctuary
snow in sun
basking leaves
dwell in the sanctuary of now
Yield
first light
stretches across the acres
that are harvest’s home
Sunflowers
beaming in the hot sun
best beheld from the cool
depths of woodland shade
Brief Visit
spring wears white
in polkadot leaves and petal snow
until the wilting sun asks her to go
Hidden Light
the sun obscured
a wintry day
the willow weeps
Declared
sun shoulders out the snow
last years blooms trumpet
beauty’s determination
Thread
an icicle pendulum
suspended by a spider’s thread
metronome of sun and clouds
Not Forgotten
a glimpse of light
on the darkest day
the sun has not forgotten us
Harvest
one petal at a time
in the soft September sun
the bee labors in love
Elsie and the Queen
splendid summer day
royalty and the working class
share the same sun
Reverence
raised in exalation
green arms
praise the sun
Sun Kissed
like the sun in July
yellow spreads across the field
Highlight
petals catch
a ray of sun
enlightened blossom
High Spirits
catching the sun
an exhilaration of color
profusion of petals
Daffodil
my rising sun
the light by which I know
spring has begun
Old Friends
the frail sun, the frosty lawn
the old tree and tire swing
wait for summer
Wishbone
Trees wish for rain and sun
a gentle wind, the song of birds
room to breathe and time to grow
In Lingering Ice
lonesome for the red winged
longing for the frogs’ calls
believing in the sun
cattails wait
Hunger
late february afternoon
everything hungers for light and warmth
so quickly the sun recedes
Awakening
sunlight on magnolia buds
awakens hope for spring
Chosen
bright spot
in a grey winter day
Thaw
temperatures rise
the ice parts
green reaches for the sun
River Run
freed by the sun
the river runs
Hallelujah
to bloom
in the winter sun
is to rejoice
Pieces of Summer
A quarter of a flower,
a sliver of the sun,
a portion of August.
Unwrapped
The birch unwraps herself
revealing her alabaster skin
to the May sun.
Sun Gazing
Mirror of beauty,
trumpet of spring –
narcissus oh narcissus.
Diamond Day
The sun smiles
and the world glitters.
Wardrobe
Dressed in shadows and light
effortlessly trees wear
every moment of every season.
