Bloom Anyway
Some call it a weed
Prickly and good for nothing
It blooms anyway

An On-going Battle
An On-going Battle
Mother Nature may abhor a vacuum
But artificial barriers are next on her list
We prop them up willy-nilly
Thinking ‘That’s that!’
She doesn’t agree
Immediately sends her agents
To neutralize any attempt at permanence
It’s an on-going battle
She’s in it for the long run
Planning to win the war

Stories Trees Tell Me
Stories from Trees
‘Tis a fine day indeed
To shelter beneath the oak canopy
Closing the book I thought to read
I silence the noise within
And listen to the stories trees tell me

Wisteria
Wisteria
It’s all about transformation
From seed to plant, bud to flower
New looks different than old
Without an audience
Blooms open, still

Dream in Color
Dream in Color
Daylight outlines in black and white
Twilight blends into grey
At night, I dream in color
