Defying The Elements

sweet hydrangea
her summer bloom lingers
on a honeycomb of petals

Landscape Tapestry

time’s shuttle
weaving
branches, reeds, weeds

A Winter Radiance

here a rainbow rises
of colored branches
behold this halo of joy

Lighting The Way

winter raised
her red flamed torches
showing us the path

Fallen Maple

we will remember
her sweetness
when she warms us
this winter

Each Leaf In Its Own Time

the landscape
fills
with color

Amen

gratitude
for the gifts
of another day
