Shafts of Light

shafts of light among taller, barren trunks
dogwoods  blossom, a herald
as the woods come to life

Dogwoods

Dogwoods are in bloom
Winter is losing its grip 
Still Spring hesitates

Tulip heads mingle with paper whites, floral party escalates. An Guests bunnies and squirrel’s join the celebration. Beneath the dogwoods, dandelion heads awake.

Down where lavender wisteria hangs Dogwoods' white blossoms add grace and beauty Wispy clouds fan brushed across could boomerang Bring snow to springs' start, lay out death's duty

Premium Member Away Over Yonder

sunset I'm leaving
the birds are headed my way
far past the dogwoods

beneath twinkly skies
out past the emerald lane
beyond Silver Lake

the gleeful hour waits
in peach sky rosy morning
where the birds sing sun

Spring 2

Bird song symphonies
Interweave through trees
Adorned with blossoms. 
The land, a mosaic
Of nature's splendor

The doting eye
Of the sun lands
Upon the blush
Of red dogwoods

Skins are out
Earthy smells 
Cling to me

The days
Become

Lazy

My first cry echoed out
in a metallic hospital room.
The magnolias and dogwoods
were in full bloom. Through
the years I grew hardy and
strong. A car crash enlightened
me to my own mortality. It was
the beginning of the end. Little
by little I lost my grip on life,
spiraling on a downward trend.
Now I embrace a cold winter that
will never become spring.

Although near June casts its heated upswing Vibrant weaves of blooms adorn field's aisle ... ‘Oh, let me relish five more days of spring’ Where tulips and dogwoods pose to beguile!

Premium Member Easter Laugh

Entombed in the winter to burst forth in April; their petals bear shadows of crosses and nails. Some think Augusta; I image Golgatha: bread of life broken and all that entails. Gloried reminder of what comes right after, the dogwoods in springtime burst into full bloom. Moriah spared Isaac, rejoicing with laughter, Abraham’s seed springs forth, prepares a room.

Premium Member Spring On the Mountain

From a lofty height
That first day of spring
That mountain side seemed
To be filled with green

Interspersed with dead
Of those decideous trees
The pines shone forth
The shiny, waxy leaves

Soon ten shades of green
Mingled with white blossoms
Of the dogwoods of April
Come to  the mountain

Come to the mountain 
In April, meet me there
We can share the spring
Where lovers hearts sing

Oh let me relish five more days of spring, Where tulips and dogwoods pose to beguile May’s grandeur tossing its hues...so I fling-- ‘Oh let me relish five more days of spring.’ Although near June casts its heated upswing Vibrant weaves of blooms adorn field's aisle ... ...: ‘Oh, let me relish five more days of spring’ Where tulips and dogwoods pose to beguile!
