Melt into its bark -
each loved tree will fold you in,
lift you to the sky.

Thanks to everyone who reads my blog, and for your kind comments.
I’ll continue to be scarce for a little while as we are selling our house, packing, cleaning, lamenting…. Hoping to take my elm trees with me.
Will still try to post and read blogs now and then – looking forward to the day when things get back to “normal”!

Like a shy, white bird
sweet trillium blooms quietly
nestled in the brush.

There is that moment,
an imperceptible pause
just before we leap.

Waves break in silver
like rushes of mercury
glinting on the shore.

There it is again:
handsome rival in the glass -
he stops to reflect.

Night embroidery
stars are strewn like white french-knots
on a black silk sky.

Polka-dotted sky
white-cheeked clouds mooning the earth
pansies smile and wink.

Don’t ask what I think -
words are non-existent here.
Ask me what I feel.

swelling appetites of trees
hungering for green.
