tightly clustered koi
one on top of the other
frenzy of color
spring plantings in place
anxious to watch them growing
worth long winter wait
garden waking up
from its long winter slumber
off to a good start
(My first visit to the Sunken Gardens since last fall)
barreling downhill
mountain stream unabated
wading ill-advised
storm clouds do gather
knitting a dense veil of mist
raindrops imminent
a blast of hoar frost
everything top to bottom
nature crystallized
copious flowers
blanket a mountain hillside
their color unleashed
hiding here and there
tiny splashes of color
please don’t step on me
aimlessly we flit
from place to place in our minds
land on an idea
down an empty path
awaiting footsteps for now
garden still at rest
