A tiny dab
Of
Blue
Such
A lovely
Hue
Admiration
Is
Due
collection of buds
poised to soon burst into bloom
anticipating
standing motionless
devoid of children’s laughter
longing for contact
My brother
Was a
Tease
Taunting me
As he
Pleased
Quite devious
He could
Be
But love
He gave just as
Free
A
Novice
It is
Good to
Be
Beauty
Around us
To
Always
See
Our
Eyes
To keep
Wide
Open
As nature’s
Wisdom
Is
Spoken
River
Flowing, flowing
Ever
Going, going
Surface
Glowing, glowing
Never
Slowing, slowing
Rapids
Growing, growing
Power
Showing, showing
Nothing
Owing, owing
All
Knowing, knowing
Life
Bestowing, bestowing
color erupting
everywhere in the landscape
no lava in sight
from tightly wrapped buds
to prolific greenery
oakleaf hydrangea
