Crabapples BloomingA Luscious AdagioIn Shades of Crimson
Clouds Racing the Wind Through Fresh Blue Skies and Sunlight To Far Horizons
Spring Twirls With Each Gust Raising Earth, Light and Water To Flowers and Leaves
It is all Rebirth And Resurrection But For An Unnamed Longing
It is That SeasonOpera, Symphony, and DanceArtists, Poised, Ready
When First the Crocus Blooms, Does It Contemplate All Of Its Ancestry?
Does the Plant Recall An Elemental World of Just Water, Light and Stone?
Is Each Year’s Blooming A Hymn In the Here and Now To Balm Endless Time
Sun and Sunflower Bumble Bee Works Its Magic For Seed and Nectar
Mud and Root and LimbReach for light, for the Wind’s TouchFor Springtime Promise
Buds and Blooms RecallSummer’s Blue Skies and Bright Sun,As A Future Dreamed
First Flowers EruptIn Color, Light and MotionSpringtime Incarnate
A Late Winter’s FrostOn Dried Wildflowers EchoesNotes of Future Blooms
Late May, Sleeping In To the Dappled Sound of Rain And Flowers Growing
Figuring Things Out Patiently as the Land and Just as Mysterious
Poppies Bloom Again Roots Pushed Down Through Earth and Time Lift Up Memories
A Rose is Blooming In My Mother’s Garden of Beloved Children
Blessed by Holy Light Each Anniversary An Eternal New Bloom
Winter Remembered White Crab Apple Blossoms Drift Across the Sidewalk
Each spring, year on year, We’re surprised and delighted By every new bloom
The Snowpack Warming Primordial Mist Rising Crocuses? Robins?
Worshipping sunlight On luminous green blossoms Two blocks from my house
Distilling sunshine Into Hollyhock blossoms Through roots, stalks and leaves
Foxglove blooms in shade Purpled sunlight, stirred by breeze A bee’s cathedral
Work day urgencies, Cannot breach the garden walls Poppies pop slowly
Born in mid-winter, a hearty lily, savvy beauty warms my world.
A dream of springtime. Scent of flowers lingers like Incense. Winter ends.
Fall’s scent, ripe harvest Of leaves, and flower and grass Gently decaying
Honeysuckle rises And spreads along the fence top Crucifix blessing
Speedwell, Coneflower Bumble Bee’s Delight. Cats watch And learn not to touch.
Beauty in still life Flowers and sea shells on silk Frozen from decay
