Plant’s Paw

the big
green footprint
of spring

mapping
the diminutive
continent of moss

kindling beauty
the birch branch pile
nature’s ephemeral immortality

deception
of fragility
begonia in the fall

the garden
weaves a tapestry
of leaf and bloom

time
is measured
by the lily’s shadow

unfurling its scarlet edge
it is the leaf that blooms

The landscape shifts from white to green.
Ice is no match for the determination of spring.

A single leaf
contains all the mysteries
of the world.

This winter’s frozen landscape
turns the familiar field into an alien surface
the dark side of the moon.
