The perennial gardens are growing so well. Tulips have bloomed, bleeding hearts, and daffodils. Daylily plants fill the gardens, flowers July. Days are longer, and I am grateful. Birds stay, birds return, and butterflies too.
always a blessing
gardens we know
well
my heart sees
what is no longer here
buildings and changes
over time
my heart sees
people I knew
and gardens that grew
in different places
I write from my heart
and my heart sees
in new ways again
August afternoon
time I know well
gardens, months,
seasons, years
summer garden
some plants rest
some grow
now that I know
their name
I see them everywhere
hydrangeas
small spring garden
on a day in May
flowers begin to bloom
many roads
I no longer travel
more poems in the garden
than I could ever write
time with old friends
poems in a journal
from years ago
