the sweetness sweeter
for the shortness
of their stay
Dear Ephemerals
That Sweetness In The Air
it is
the maple wind
ushering in hope
Cattail Cotton Candy
sweet stuff
spun out of
light and life
Sweetness
in the meadow’s expanse
like a bee
I seek intimacy with clover
The Missing Windowpane
if handled very tenderly
absence can sometimes make a space
for sweetness to enter
To Dine On Beauty
oh to hover in the flowers
and sip the sweetness
from every one
The Thrum Of Thirst
sipping sweetness
from the false foxglove
mocktails in the afternoon
Sweet Goodbye
final visit
to the last
of the lilacs
Sweetness
maple lace
almost sweeter
than syrup
October Glory
the light
was as thick as honey
its sweetness coated the day
Them Apples
gathering sweetness
rounding with time
growing into themselves
In The Rain
shorter days
sweeten
the crabapples
Grazing
Cows find
spring’s sweetness
in tender young grass.
Rose-lipt Maidens
Fleeting is spring’s splendor
so sweeter is the view.
