the sunflower

reaches heavenward

the better to be seen

waving farewell

taffetas

the mauves of evening

romance....

Awake August

The loom beckons

the shuttle flies

and we wind our days

into skeins of life

Awake August

the small birds

make way for the flicker

who comes to drink 

at the lady's feet

Awake August
August 26th, 2016

deadheading the chamomile

my thoughts wander to

winter, tea, friends,

conversation...

Awake August

the delphinium that returns in october,

for an encore

has chosen instead

to brighten the late summer

so what does that portend for

autumn?

Awake August

remembrances of a marriage

warm the heart
