Parasol

 

in a gloved hand 

statuesque in gardens 

lace parasol

fragile garden art 

broken in pieces by 

switch of the tail

Inspired

 


to heart, to breath 

to birdsongs in the garden 

summer's heaven 


 

summer's heaven 

each day nature's pure gift 

sitting and listening 


 

sitting and listening 

to poetry from afar 

inspired 



A Light So Hot

 

a light so hot 

grasses and gardens scorched 

hiding in cool shade 


Light

 




path to tomorrow 

our future years untold 

absolutes hidden 


* * * * * 

out of the darkness
the light of a thousand suns
shines on you

******

destination unknown
follow the brightest light
listen to birdsongs


Ageless Beauty

 




ageless beauty 

satin … lace …. twirl in a dance 

petals play the tune 


Summer's Longest Day

 



summer's longest day
gardener's wettest day
drenched to the bone

Oblivious

past fears disappearing
joy spreads with each wave

walk in other's shoes
no longer oblivious
empathy revealed

Seven Months Ago

 

seven months ago
I was oblivious
now a survivor
called "lucky" by all who know
surrounded by loving care


******

no hidden secrets
the light of a thousand suns
heals - can you feel it

Benches Surround

 




benches surround
safely hidden retreat
calls my name


Path to Tomorrow

 



path to tomorrow

our future years untold

absolutes hidden



Footpath in the Soil

 



footpath in the soil 

dark rich wet muddy earth 

barefoot coward

Celebrating A Rainy Summer Solstice with Poems

 

Celebrating A Rainy Summer Solstice with Poems

summer's longest day 

gardener's wettest day 

drenched to the bone 


******

 

gardener's attire 

muddy and wet 

summer solstice 


******

 

the gardener's clothes 

get wet and muddy in the 

early summer rain 


******

 

drizzle and downpour 

gardener changes thrice 

inner child's delight 


******

 

summer rain 

nourishes the garden 

fresh earthly fragrance 


******

 

newly planted buds 

stands undeterred by 

summer solstice storms 


******

 

old rubber boots split 

a cold rainy morning's 

catalyst 


******

 

summer solstice's 

cool evening breeze 

rain soaks into dirt 


******

 

revel in walking 

through a summer rainstorm 

splashing in puddles 

Hands Are Full

  petrichor   heavy in the air   fills our hands
