Spring Lilacs

Fragrant blooms
open wide
from tiny buds
to delicate flowers
vibrant
and brave
with shining colors
to welcome spring
and encourage
the bees
to awaken
from slumber
and explore
yellow offerings.

Eager Awakening

Fresh and tender
little bits
unfurl to greet
spring’s warmth,
stretching
delicate furls
and ruffled tufts
to seek out
sunlight’s kiss

And so the
season of abundance
begins

Perspective

Sweeping skies
make miniature toys
out of
towering mountains
as snowtops pierce
the soft haze
of clouds
barely there
as they measure
the vast expanse
like heaven’s ruler

Luna’s Snake

Crazy, kooky
nutty girl
with a
brand new toy
she twists and rolls
tackling the snake
she plays pretend
as tongue hairs
tangle
in woolly strands
and says…
“I love my new toy
Daddy.”

The Quiet One

No giggles
no laughter
but there’s a whisper
there
Hidden eyes
see between
delicate droplets
peering out
from dark spaces
as the whisper
says again and again…

Don’t see me.

The Invitation

Soft as fleece
light as feathers
downy fronds
gather and cluster
promising rest
and comfort
in a loving
green embrace

Come
Lie down
Stay a while
