Spotlight

Patiently waiting

For their turn in the sunlight

Daisies wait their turn

Radiance

Radiant sunbeams

Change leaves from green to yellow

And then back again

Buzz

Just a worker bee

Toiling away for the queen

What will you become?

Sleeping arrangements

Hey, what time is it

It's time to water the cat

Where does your cat sleep?

Climb

Climbing the ladder

Can get you out of the dark

Ask for equal pay

Embraced

Embraced by rose buds

The rose enjoys her splendor

Fleeting as it is

A fire from within

A fire from within

We all need it to succeed 

Has your fire been lit?

Waiting for water

Summer blooms

Waiting for water

I'm thirsty

Under cover

Sheltered from the sun

Under cover of green leaves

The blooms come to light

Boom

It's opening day

Smallest to largest

The daisies explode

Sadness

Hosta tears

When I gaze at you

My eyes blur

Fine lines

Paper white petals

Bordered by emerald green leaves

Oak leaf hydrangea

Night falls

Darkness surrounds us

We look to light for safety

And we embrace it

Days end

The sun is setting

Shadows that are cast, are long

What hides within them

Reach

Reach for the heavens

But as you climb, have a net

In case you misstep

The surge

A purple cascade

Rushes past a soft green bed

As flowers burst forth

Tranquility

A rough stucco wall

Fronted by pale blue flowers

Faithful and loyal

Oh Magnolia

Magnolia blossom

Older than even the bee

Dignified beauty

Catching rays

Catching a few rays

Remember to wear sunscreen

Or you might get burned

Sunset

Behind the curtains

The sun sets ending a day

Adding memories

Standing tall

Stand tall 

In your skin

Succeed

Bow to beauty

Waiting in the wings, patiently

An understudy pines for the call

Frame of reference

Your frame of reference 

Will determine your world view

Use caution choosing

Generations

Three generations

Each unique in their own way

But from the same stock

Haiga

Clouds drift aimlessly

A cat pounces on a mouse

Imagination

Boundaries

In preventing chaos in our chaotic world

Boundaries make sense
