Fleeting

iridescent wings
hover over a flower
as I stand entranced

awestruck…
nature
at her finest

Fantasy

lilacs in her hair
as she lays in the grass with
clouds floating whimsy

escapees from
my minds eye
in the clouds

Bloom

a silken rose bud
opens with just a whisper
but only for me

red velvet and lemon
delicate blossoms
gently unfurl

Calm

in the forest pond
floating water lilies tint
the fishes below

ripple-
a golden koi
breaks the surface

Yardwork

amid the spring blooms
autumn’s final vestiges
at last put to rest

fallen leaves-
in time become
new soil

Nectar

honeysuckle vines
distilling morning sunlight
into liquid gold

honeysuckles-
concentrating
liquid sunlightc

Cover

an unseen rabbit
eyes the fox suspiciously
from beneath the hedge

hidden-
the rabbit spies
a hungry fox

Brevity

Late October rain
Bees covet the wildflowers
While the desert blooms

Garden

Dark flowers bloom as
Small drops of rain release the
Incense of the earth

Spring

Wafting on the breeze
There comes the gentle scent of
A lilac in bloom
