Summer Dance -2014

Garden thrived

without the gardener

like a forest

seeds that fell last year

burgeoned.....

As we tend

to our new grand baby

and life's timely demands

the passion found

its way through

the hotchilies & curry

leaves' hardystems to shoot

purple blooms for the bumble bees

The long beans smile carefreeand purple

to yield their slender pods

entwined by the redness of hearts

the leaves that purple yams proudly display

their ridged stems reach upwards

gracefully like the delicate hands

of a twirling balerina

The Roses of sharon applaude

from their luxury booth under the shade

dressed in their layers of chiffons!

On The Porch

On The Porch

On the porch

a gazeboo

wind chimes

in the middle of nature

the leaves flutter

bird calls and chirps

add to the peace

under the hot sun

dog at my feet

I reign....

Resiliant & wild

The Passion blooms

Calling out to the world

I am here

I am still here

When times are hard

like the winter freeze

staying low

I rest still breathing

Resiliant & Wild........

When there's sign of warmth

I spring from the ground

budding out to the songs of the backyard birds

and I bloom

to the joy of the bees

that bumble and frolick with joy

to yield

for you my tending hosts

a bounty of fruits

to strengthen your Hearts

be resiliant and wild!

A Kaleido Luncheon

worthy of a Queen

Made of rice red

fitness filled - fit

even for an emperor...

yet not expensive

that anyone can afford

if paid attention

and got the right stuff

Can have a feast

for all five senses

to serve and share

to fill and flow

from Heart to Soul!
