Beginning

On the lone hillside

green going on for miles

the single massive oak

luxuriates in worship of the sun

toe roots buried deep

——–

To sit there in similar fashion

soak up the sun’s rays

buried in deep verdant velvet

at rainbow’s end?

No, it is the beginning…

Magnolia

Through the window

and all the shades of green

a single spot of creamy white

like the orb of the moon

on a soft summer night

The very first pearl of the year

luminescent

harbinger of joyous celebration

on jeweled crown

Magnolia grandiflora

magnificence in perfection

almost too sweet for the eye

Bear

Baring my soul to Bear

witness of my dreams

lumbering past

bushels of fears and fancies

medicine teacher

gruffly grumbles and growls

beware the bear hug

just might crush you

smothered in love

or cast you correction

with the bat of a paw

The Farm

On the farm
all work together
‘neath the sun’s sweet rays
in a symbiotic dance
of life
in interconnected wovenness
——————————-
Till me a tale
sing me a song
buzz ’round the blooms
and I’ll hum all day long

Momma Bird

Momma bird sits

the eye of peace upon me
a pile of sticks and feathers
beneath her
gentle sky peeking
through the greenage above

A gift of love
a piece of peace
laid out before me
