- JANUARY -

A freezing cold evening

Where the stars shining bright

With frost blade flanks

From mouth and nose steam

In the clear silence

White untrodden snows

Nature's frozen pulse

Sleep like a little baby

One gracious moon

After the night the light is shattered into gold

At sunrise raise your heartbeat

Amassed in flamboyant Azalea blooms when my garden is free of the cold.
Bird of Paradise, dressed in purple and orange,  wear their colors so bold.
Crocus bloom when the mounds of snow finally melt and say, "Goodbye."
Daffodils display delightful faces and seem to be greeting...

From the north he came nimbly in the night
	Softly silently bombing blanketing buds

Saturating each single stem
	Snowy sneak attack barraging bombarding bark

Wracking white war-like wonder
	With relentless wrath and rage

Cardinal calling watching in wonder
	Bright crimson claret buried between alabaster boughs

Chipmunk and squirrel shell-shocked
	By snowy shrapnel scamper to...

Solid gray skies
   Over daylilies trying to bloom
    Several different species so colorful
      Open only a day, live life to the fullest
        What have I done with my...

May show us how beautiful you are
A Spirea blooms like a beautiful and white cloud in the garden
Beautiful spring bride
Dressed with creation she herself had designed
A golden ring of eternal happiness
The veil thin and beautiful like cobwebs kisses her cheek

May is the month with wonderful...

After winter’s cold, Apple Blossoms unfold.
Bright, fresh spring brings Bluebells to behold.
Cheery Blossoms burst then dance to ground.
Delightful Dahlias bloom spring all around.
Eastern Redbuds warm cold winter emotion and
Fresh Freesia compliments each spring notion.
Gardenias touch each faith-filled belief.
Hardy Heath hones its spring dream leaf.
Impatiens show...

One goldfinch rest upon a weed
Eats a few seeds from the spirea 
Lands on birdbath's rim, drinks his fill
Across my vision, black butterfly unreal

two unusual
sightings in a few minutes....
Georgia summer morn   

We don't usually see Goldfinches here unless it is in their spring...

Does my spirea still bloom?
No! It has turned black and crumbles
Where are the tiger lilies with their spots? 
Hidden beneath the cold, wet earth until....

Did I not have peonies in two colors? 
They disappeared, my love, but not dead 
Only hidden deep within my heart
Waiting...

I’m a midnight cat, by the name of Obsidian,
eyes golden by candlelight; by day they’re viridian.
As I lay here among my Mistress’s great books,
I am wondering what, for my supper, she’ll cook?

Mistress is a Seer, a Shaman, a Mage and 
these books contain magic, spells...

Spirea stirs

From gusts of wind 10 MPH

Calm, stillness, stirring from down under

Brown thrasher 

Hops out, flies    ...

Its ardor grew like the sprouts being verdant green,
As the lowliness of a meadow's reach for sun.
Their whispered breaths trails farewell to a doting Spring,

Neath the grassy spreads of life, seeks a saffron sky.
Enters the hoverance, flights a white dove anoints,
Midst the sanctity of two...

reflections
ever changing

reflections
IN MY GARDEN
I think, 
day dream I suppose..
thoughts drift in as images...
In this quiet

imagination takes hold
its wings await...

a chrysalis becomes a butterfly
