Serenity

Ceramic koi
swim the air
circling the garden stones

Delight

Fresh shiny faces
cheerfulness personified.

Expansion

petals open
to sun and sky
peony sighs

Potential

the bud holds tight
to blossom
is still a dream

Sanctuary

While the garden is watered
I shelter with the maple.

Balm

A blue so beautiful
she disperses all sorrow.

Monet’s Pond

Trees and water,
shadows and light,
shimmer and ripple,
paint today’s ephemeral masterpiece
