softly

the rain falls, welcomed by the soil, beading leaves with crystal drops, feeding the creek, the birds – all living things.

amid the flow

the earth opens once again to the emerging of leaves, the opening of blossoms, a quickening of life

layers unfold

like whispers of breeze upon my cheek

turning point

late summer textures twine with cooler days…the nights of open windows

tides

Stillness returns – the moon rises. Moist air laces with night sounds as nature slips into the currents of sleep.

firefly

summers heat wanes sapphire blue on velvet sky bare feet in deep grass

respite

moist air of summer wings grown weary from travels rest among cool greens

contradictions

sharp edges, smooth blue golden leaves against complementary hue

stilled

Lengthening shadows pair with sheltering branches – the hush of a hawk.

evening

Swaying in the breeze, translucent petals, backlit fired to radiance.
