Crocuses

my heart sings with hope

when purple blooms erupt from

earth's harsh, ruthless grit

 

Jewels

 jewels of light spark

my submerged drifting weight

resurrect my soul

Water Painting

complex, shifting shapes

weave magic in transient light

entice, thrill, vanish

 

Chairs

 waiting for spring leaves

for lovers to kiss under 

the willow's embrace

 

Sheet of Silk

sheet of silk billows

lulls the flustered heart's harangue

into lush repose

 

Budding Willows

spring's lacy curtain

sways, pliant, renewed again

free of winter's weight

 

Of Gold

light filters dullness

 unclothes hues of gold insight

 dissolves greys and blues

 

Abstract

Abstract darkness plays

on water's surface, searching

below for victims

 

Seeds

One among many

in nature's ecosystem

of attractive seeds

 

Heart

exposed, endangered

yielding, mesmerized, dauntless

unconditional

 

Sumac

seeds of velvet red

dressed up to dazzle and spread

love in all seasons

 

Sparkles

 shower of sparkles 

scatter over tearful blues

the mirage of love

 

Ball

Abandoned, drifting

bobbing with the waves' applause

unmoved by glitter

staying afloat. tense

 with fear of depth, attachment

hoarding illusions

 

Fragile Strength

delicate, slender

fragile yet strong, nurturing

buds, unfurling leaves

 

Impressionism

budding twigs cradle

blurred waves. melancholic blues

tearful renewal

 

Lost Cloud

a lost cloud hovers

rainless on a clear bright day

a whisper of hope

 

Rain in my Heart

it rains in my heart 

the painful sounds of dear ones

lost but still with me

 

Swan

It glides on the lake

majestic, free to roam past

the city's chatter

 

Trees on Rocks

on a frigid day

bare, leafless, stoic, they wait

for spring's renewal

 

Swans' Faith

they don't worry for

every need comes from the lake

food, peace, contentment

let's trust nature too

have faith in us, in others

in our blessed earth
