sings of clefs, riffs, fugues, and frets

sky and sea chorus

through any weather

destruction, decay, yet growth

prevails unperturbed

humid scent of wood

forest bath of body, mind

blurring woes, anguish

dip in the ocean

expansive view, open heart

trust in abundance

Jelly Fish

shape-shifter adapts

camouflaged, clear, clings to life 

survives in pretence 

 

Wild

rooting through gravel

dispensing bursts of good cheer

life in a twinkle

 

Lily Pads

lush, core curled within, 

closeness in a mess of leaves 

scattered buds of joy

 

Pampas Grass

fluffy reeds rise tall

displaced, prized in foreign soil

plumes reaching the sky

 

Cobalt Sun

random art radiates

brilliance in a cobalt sun

alters silver wit

 

Great Blue Heron

light legs set for flight

in a domain blue on green

still, waiting for prey

 

Squirrel

pausing on the rock

savouring foraged nibbles

hard work never ends

 

Poppies

scarlet splashes pulse

their short stories to cherish

now, in the moment

 

Coral Poppy

buds waiting to bloom

covet petals spread open

bask in sun, self-love 

 

 

Emerald Garden

vines wrap around you

conjure emerald garden

blind facts with fiction

Will the creepers die

let the body breathe free or

choke health, force decay

candle light in  ruby sky
