sunshine and blue sky
the safety and comfort of home
a grateful heart
This Day’s Gifts
Dreaming Goldenrod
sunshine to be picked
and put in a vase
sunshine a brush
painting the water
Blue Diamonds
glinting
with sunshine
and raindrops
Umbrella Of Sunshine
casting light
creating shelter
from gloom
The Way To Oz
buttercups
paved my
yellow brick road
Spring Cleaning
moss and fern
drinking light
purifying the air
Looking Forward
a little shimmer
of summer
in the snowy sunshine
Magnolia Bees
abuzz in December sunshine
the blossom hive swarms
in the afternoon light
Clouds Above The Palisades
sunshine spotlights
the bluff face
as day dips into shadow
Tree Of Sweets
like cotton candy
sugar spun
from the morning sun
A House In The Lupine
the bluebirds know
beauty, space and quiet
make a house a home
Dance Of The Dandelions
two stepping towards summer
the breeze lifting fluffy skirts
and changing their partners
Simplicity
paradise made
with three flowers
and a bee
Another Kind Of Warmth
a beam
of daffodil sunshine
graces the hillside
Mud Season Encroaches
holding on to cold
the pond
an icy island
Goldenrod, Golden Sky, Golden Light
everything
touched by the sun
became a treasure
Protection
barrier to cold
a bowl to hold the sun
oak leaves holding on to green
In The Sunshine
beneath clouds and blue sky
together and yet singular in purpose
room for everything
Respite
the worn bloom
finds shade and support
on the rock wall
in the bud yet to flower
The Days Move Fast
chasing the last of summer
through the young woods
the sun’s rays always just out of reach
Open
unfurl yourself
be bold with fragilities
and the compliments of complexities
A Song Of Summer
shadow and light
perform a dappled dance
stepping to August’s tune
Finch In Sunglasses
the demanding August sun
requires even the birds
to don shades
Brown Eyed Butterfly
at the center of the day
one moment
perfectly balanced
My Feathered Sunshine
a one note song
and moments visit
banishes my grey cloud
Basking
washed with heat
colors cleaned
spirit revived
The Saving Sunshine
banished now the dreary dread
of March through May’s gray
by pansy light and luminous leaves
Before Us
summer stretches out
in sunshine and tree shade
idle days and lemonade
Circle Garden
at the threshold between sunshine and shade
the circle sculptures speak
of life’s liminal spaces
Iris Leaves And Columbine
even perennials know
there is no such thing
as forever
