something cool and sweet
soothing to the eye and heart
nourished from the earth
always at the edge
something new begins to grow
beauty like the sun
bird of paradise
unfolding into joy
your beauty takes flight
fingers in the dirt
finding these fruits of the earth
joy beyond measure
tangles of beauty
even roses seek the sky
heaven here on earth
this beauty for you
tuck it away in your heart
a gift to the stars
nature’s elegance
opens like a day in spring
rippling through the world
april’s pink full moon
shines on the entire earth
drink up this beauty
innocence of five
the inchworm measures childhood
tucked into our hearts
twenty-five years spin
this path of beauty unfolds
step into your heart
lions on the wind
strength in those wishes traveling
heart’s desire grows
manzanita bells
and the hum of honey bees
music to our ears
a surprise to find
a little heaven on earth
stars among green pearls
no other decorations
this orange orb of pure delight
the last persimmon
wonder when you look
this earth reveals secrets
a hidden world waits
little spot of red
shining for the world to see
mirror on the tree
raven sits and waits
guide through the unseen places
as the seasons turn
faerie cakes disguised
as flowers in the garden
enough for us all
beneath the Buddha’s gaze
the wild searches for a way
through concrete cities
I opened the door
this morning
to a wet world…
