There you are in a seemingly unlikely spot,
tending to your babies the way I tended to mine.
You watch me, watching you, wishing gentle
thoughts and finally, walking away.
Watching You

The Pleasures of Spring
soft, blue skies
late sunsets
pink and yellow and red and purple
tender grass
rainy afternoons
thunderstorms
the smell of soil
cool mornings
shades of green
baby bunnies
a robin’s blue egg shell
carrots from the farmer’s market
Afternoon Sun
The afternoon sun fell on the flowers,
casting a warm, golden, luminous embrace.
I envied them so.
Benches
Stone benches for faeries,
butterflies and
golden-feathered finches.
Red
All those cold, grey months you slept so soundly in the frigid
silence of snow. I saw you in my day dreams and you are even
more stunning than I remembered.

Unspoken
Shadows outline all that remains unspoken.
Mama
Bounding toward your tiny screeching baby hiding
in the tender greens from a blue-black raven,
you frightened him away to another meal.
Holding nothing against the raven,
my respect grew considerably in your favor.
Garden Girl
When the night comes
and the moon glows,
do you come to life,
let your sorrows go?
