Evening bloom takes the eye
Drawing in for night
Quiet garden in the last light
Tucks itself in tight
Time for rest
Bud, beast or man
All sleep to pass the time
All silent in their beds
Evening bloom takes the eye
Drawing in for night
Quiet garden in the last light
Tucks itself in tight
Time for rest
Bud, beast or man
All sleep to pass the time
All silent in their beds
April showers
Early blooms soak it in
Oranges and violets
Dead grass forms a ring
Beauty juxtaposed
Strange days, when only flowers grow
Hollow words to fill the gaps
Passing time on dreary days
The wind howls
Soon comes the rain
Wash away the signs of winter
Look ahead to spring
Birds, bugs, flower buds, all the greener things
Uplift me
Uproot me
Plant me somewhere in the sun
Remark at my progress
Help me grow strong
For so long, I’ve waited
Wilting in the shade
Strange flower
A weed without a name
Please, press me between the pages
But before you do, help me bloom in sunlit places
Flower in the undergrowth, bud closed in perpetual shade
Rare bloom, only seen in a night glade
Meadow hidden, high banks, greenbrier sting
Push through the forest, and there you will find me
Violet petals, set against black
Velvet monarch, my kingdom in the grass
Reaching out into light
Cold night air, clinging at the shadows
Flowers in the door yard
Beauty of the fall
A hard Winter’s warning
Mid autumn morning heeds the call
Frost stalling for a moment
Lingering in darker places
Soon to mist, then gone
Traceless, weightless vapors
Chased off by the Sun
