-
Mirabilis whispers her need
in bergamot breeze and
neroli knots parted by bow
-
-
If you somehow feel your beauty escapes me,
entrust your doubts to far sirens
-
Where is it now, the glory and the dream,
fostered alike by beauty and by fear,

riot of mockingbirds
in condescending melody
-
Warmth in revival storms the rime of walls hewn~
silver bell refusing silence of cold rage
-
The thunder takes a silent pondering moment
snapshots of lighting across the horizon
-
I've sunk deep enough that the water is calm
but I still can remember the white water surface
-
-
-
Coddled, nurtured,
ideal conditions surround
-
Sold...bare root, balled and burlapped-
this treasure, fragile and wild
-
December calls upon sleepy woods
wrapping them white with winter
-
The ocean is kissing her youngsters goodnight
Whispering through inlets and rivers and streams
-
She is umber robe in sable throw,
shadow swathed in glow,
