Contrast
Dark and light direct
One’s attention to contrast
Unique, not alone

The Other Side of the Gate
Ticka’s garden gate
The Other Side of the Gate
Inside looking out
Noise and traffic
Concrete and heat
Hurries, worries, and frowns
On the other side of the gate
Outside looking in
Shade and shadow
Flowers and faeries
Benches, butterflies, and stars
On the other side of the gate

Future: Weekly Photo Challenge
Harbinger of Hope
The rose draws within for winter
Creating its own shelter
Returning from the frost is an uncertainty
We are always the last to know its fate
A leaf dares to steal a look at spring
A rosebud follows, shows us how to survive
Extending its petals, in time
A sigh of relief escapes through the open window
With the sunrise we discover another chance
To cherish the rose
A harbinger of hope for the future

An Unspoken Invitation
At the H-12 Outdoor Cafe near the intersection of Hamilton Pool Road and Ranch Road 12.
An Unspoken Invitation
Open seating, easy to view
Nature’s gallery of artwork
Flowers on the table
Sharing nature’s smile
An unspoken invitation
Shall we accept?

Poem #9 for NaPoWriMo and April Poetry Month
It Takes Time
It Takes Time
It takes time to grow strong enough to
Cast a shadow such as this
Heal wounds ripping through my soul and flesh
Learn the sky starts at my feet
Catch the spring breezes
Accept my thorns
Life, it takes time
