The Gift of Softness


You're a happy
Song

That my heart

Wants to Sing


I have found
forever


In the softness

That you bring

The softness
that is

Spring

These photos are of my flowering crabapple tree

Until Next Time


Sigh...


It seems too soon to say
Goodbye


I could watch you


For a lifetime


And still be surprised


By your transformation


I pat you into the ground in the fall


You're no more than a hope
and a promise


I've no idea if I'll get to see you at all


Even though I have all winter to forget about you


I recognize you the minute you appear


But nothing can prepare me for
how much I need to see you


or how beautiful you are


In every colour
At any time of day


The last of my tulips are finishing


I can't believe it's time to say
Goodbye

The Dandy Lion


Deafening is the lion's roar
In strength and pride he stands
Terror is the way he rules
As King throughout the land


Hidden in the grassy plains
Waiting for his chance
He's storing up on energy
Planning his advance


All at once he blazes forth
And shows his yellow mane
Once he makes his presence known
They won't let him remain


The battle lines are clearly drawn
In this endless summer war
Though they spray and shriek and hack away
They can't tame the lion's roar

Hearts For Sale


Hearts for sale
They're worth the price


Feeling blue?
Don't think twice

Better reach out
Pick one quick


Without a heart
You'll be lovesick


A happy heart's
Like a summer day


It fills you up
Chases your cares away


Best choose wisely
One that's right for you


Nothing lasts longer
Than a heart that's true


Do be careful
Hearts can break


Always give more
Than you ever take

So, what's the price
For this precious heart?


Cherish it, so
That you'll never part

Hearts For Sale

Alluring Allium


I don't know if I'd have the courage


To bring out a cache of jewels
(if I happened to have one)


And slowly peel back the layers of protection
right in plain view


Revealing
all my shining
Gems



So potently purple 


Each one unique and priceless


Not just one of them,
but many


Out in the open
for everyone to see
and enjoy


That's what Mother Nature does
...daily


Her spirit of generosity
is an inspiration to us all
