Promises

Tiny tree tops
stretch
above
tangled weeds
towards fluff
that fills the sky
like
whipped topping
promising shade
and maybe
rain

Maybe.

To Refresh

Blue skies
of a different sort
layered
upon gray
and tufts of white
over blue mountains
and the awakening
green
of a new spring
rain is coming
and the trees reach
straining tall
in search of
refreshing drops

The Renewal

Bright green leaves
unfurl
as blades of grass
reach skyward
towards shining sun
and brightening sky
as what was once
gold and brown
begins to fill
with color
once more.

Imagination’s Playground

Flying pigs
and running rabbits
fish chasing fish
and little trumpets
on the grass
we make up stories
as we stare
at blue expanse
dotted
with the characters
of the stories
we tell

Meadow Giggles

Bright yellow
greetings
spot the green
with open invitations
to lie down
among the blades
and listen
to the whispers
of gossiping flowers
before winds of change
lift delicate
eager tufts
to float away

Eager

Pops of pink
and tender greens
roiling skies
and sunshine beams
spring has come
to warm the air
as softened earth
stirs with life
no longer willing
to wait
patient and still
but instead eager
to spill forth
exuberant abundance
