A mystical rose
leads to endless enchantment
as love at first sight
A lazy daisy
Avoiding the summer heat
with carbon offsets
Stark summer sunlight
brings a new reality
to our garden blooms
Running in circles
doesn't get you anywhere
next time try straight lines
Only for a day
for all beauty is fleeting
make the most of yours
Our own milky way
stretching across the cosmos
awaiting the dawn
With a wink and nod
we often agree to things
we know we shouldn't
As life rushes by
at ever increasing speeds
Sit back and enjoy
the rapidly passing view
The ride will end soon enough
From darkness to light
From action to nourishment
The summer solstice
Shy and retiring
youngsters and old folk alike
just different reasons
As spring surrenders
To a summer's red hot heat
blame global warming
With grace through the years
calling on restful energy
sweet magnolia
With a gentle nudge
we awaken from slumber
early morning light
The higher you climb
the more you are criticized
don't let that stop you
Across the ages
there is beauty around you
just open your eyes
Artfully playful
while unable to commit
a true ingenue
There's an inner fire
in every one of us
that needs proper stoking
Early morning rain
dampens the lily's petals
but not her spirit
Blissfully serene
Content with all that life brings
Except a late frost
Up from their slumber
cicadas emerge singing
of a change in life
Past present future
Depends on your reference frame
it's time without end
Clouds in the distance
it's time to seek some shelter
rain is on the way
Altered consciousness
enigmatic and obscure
like love at first sight
Peace and forgiveness
we could use a little now
it will set us free
