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
