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

The World Is Round

shadows
encircle us
the universe’s embrace

Romance

the blossom
in sunshine
lovers embrace

Every Opportunity

nature is unafraid
of complicated truths
embracing every opportunity of knowing

Emerald Wall

barrier embraced
hard edges softened
by a majesty of moss

Morning Joy

wings wide
the day embraced
one with everything

Renewal

dappled light
the blossom’s scent
innocence returned

Lavender Glooming

the colors
wrap around us
we are held
in heaven’s embrace

Emergence

wisdom lies
in the embrace
of not knowing

The Glory of Rain

blue umbrella
opens out
to cradle the rain

Dirty Knees

mud season
mother earth’s
warm fertile embrace

Dance Again

early winter thaw
snow releasing its embrace
soon the freed the oak leaf
can dance with the wind
once again

Unity

keeping things together
rather than apart
the old fence embraces
autumn’s abundance of goldenrod

Cottage Garden

the house resides
in the garden’s
flowering embrace
