“One”

One

One raindrop hangs /

from one green cherry hanging /

on one young tree’s growth.

“Golden hour”

Golden hour

Softened by evening, /

the earth has its golden hour. /

Sun kisses lightly.

“Embrace”

Embrace

As the sun declines, /

its light folds around petals. /

One final embrace.

“Aggregate”

Aggregate

Aggregate gathers. /

Young blackberry turns green.

Taste forms on my tongue.

Remember me /

By the flowers you don’t know. /

I planted those, too.

“Leaves”

Leaves

Spring winds rip from trees /

young leaves littering sidewalks. /

Birds still hold their wings.

“Dance”

Dance

Some Iris bloom, /

while other Iris blooms die. /

Light and shadows dance.

“Iris light”

Iris light

The evening light limns /

gossamer Iris petals. /

Translucent embrace.

“Each”

Each

Each Spring ends too soon. /

Each Iris blooms but briefly. /

Each bloom, timeless joy.
