blossoms
gone to hips
still reaching for the sun
Old Rose
Pause
the falling
held
rain to ice
Color Lifts Us Up
long grey day
and then a saving
flash of blue
l Learned It From The Leaves
part was missing
it made me love
what was left more
Buds In Blue
infinitesimal the progress
towards spring
until the sudden unfurling
Winter Illustration
cold highlights
the edge
of everything
Hoisted By Branch and Twig
each leaf
an unfurled flag
of optimism and renewal
Arrival
even the leaves
came
two by two
Forced
blow down
found and saved
the drive to bloom upheld
Leaf and Twig
both separated
from the tree
yet still entwined
Taking Suggestions
at the Buddha’s suggestion
the wind and tree united
to place a reminder of faith
Twig with Lichen
magnificence
masquerading as
the mundane
