All Wet

the mallard and heron
embrace water
from above and below

A Place In The Sun

kissed
and surrounded
by a warm embrace

Those Two Iris

they leaned
into each other
as lovers often do

The Sky’s Gracious Goodnight

witnessing
nature’s subtle embrace
of belonging

Bright and Cheering

oh the crabapple
with its ready embrace
of color

Captured

held
in place
by winter’s embrace

Gently

a dawning
tenderness
the universe’s embrace
