lilac bushes
draped in mist
the scent of spring
it was so worth getting out of bed at 4 am…
Then it slithered away into the thick darkness of my purple coneflowers…
lying in the grass
beneath a blue-sky sun
I try not to remember
last summer’s bull snake
May Love
christening the new grill
pork chops & asparagus
planting flowers for dessert
there is beauty in the world, we just have to look for it
petals of cornflower blue
push aside autumn’s debris
a young child signals her delight
resurgence
trees & shrubs
dotted in green
the world
is new again
muted, now
emptied pack
of fruit-stripe gum
colors more vivid
when I was a kid
as May approaches
late April winds blow,
whisking away winter sleep
frozen hearts, melancholy souls
it’s GO time!
the warmth of spring returns
swelling my heart
beneath the rays of the sun
citrus & light
orange peel residue
sunshine encircles me
all through the day
