Whimsy

I spy with
my little eye
someone
high in the sky
hooded in
a cloak of white
staring back
down at me
and I wonder
what they think
of what
they see
or do they
simply watch on
in curiosity

More Than

My love for you
is more than
a flash-in-the-pan
or infatuation
and I wear no
rose colored
glasses
perched
on my nose
My love for you
is deep
and abiding
saturated
within
every breath
I breathe
and each cell
calls out
to you
that I am yours
always

Comfort

Come and
walk with me
among the
cedar trees
with sharp
tangy scents
tickling
at our senses
and the
rich green
of the forest
so bright
that shadows
feel
disorienting
and our fingers
lace together
in comfort
and connection

Admiration

Sweet treats
created with
aesthetic
perfection
brings home
the truth
that cooking
is more than
the creation
of food
but truely
includes
presentation
that makes
the mouth water
even before
you’ve had
a taste

Invigorated

Spring comes
in a riot
of colors
that flash brightly
from garden centers
and grocery stores
front yards
and porch stoops
as the celebration
of life
begins
with bursts
of blooms
that fill the world
with life
and cheer

Refreshed

Awakened slowly
the world outside
is merely
a whisper
of sound
as the first
birdsong begins
and sunlight
kisses upon
unfurling leaves
with a promise
of something
new
