Deceptive Delicacy

blooming through
the ferocious winter
beauty’s tenacity

Resolve

between the frosts
a final bloom
tenacity of beauty

Slippery Slope

perched atop
the shifting edge of shale
beauty’s daring

Hard Sustenance

a seed landed
a root took hold
granite grows a tree

Delicate Tenacity

spun of dreams
the web weaves
night to day

Determination

The tenacity of beauty
rebuilds my hope.

Leaf, Sky, Clouds

Through storms and bright blue bitter cold
tenacity holds the leaf to the stem.
