The River

I let
the current carry
all my worry away

Sure Sign

against a bright blue sky
spring arrives on wings

Candy Stripe Sky

the comfort and care of color
carries us through
the cold night

To Be Held

even winter
seeks the comfort
of a nest

Fire In The Sky

sunset
glowing like
a warming hearth

Reassurance

tiny blue flowers
joy enough
to dispel doubt

Across The Way

such comfort
brought by neighbors
we rarely see

Solace

head on
mother nature’s shoulder
respite from the world

Cheered On

the faltering spirit
finds footing and support
in the solace of the garden

Winter Dreams

in the comfort of cattails
keeping watch
frogs and fish fast asleep

With

the better shelter
from the storm
is found with others

Kitchen Window View

unswerving is
the comfort of conifers
dependability of green

Beauty’s Comfort

when nothing is predictable
the beauty of a bloom
can be relied upon

Three Berry Cottage

at the meadow’s edge
where the woods begin
three berry cottage awaits
her chance to comfort and contain

Companion

Midnight’s lamp
guides the sleepless
through the dark

Gathered

together
the comforts
of community

Providence

soft surroundings
destined for nests

Golden Delicious

Grandmother apple tree
comforts the afternoon
with shade.

Shade

Take haven
on the hot days
under a green canopy.

Consolation

When flowers weep
fairies call out the sun
to dry their tears.
