Lavender wonder!
The sweet lilacs are blooming
At the edge of the porch.
A swift summer's breeze
Swings the bright light and green leaves
Then recedes to ripples.
Up through the porch planks,
Moving swiftly towards the sky--
Fearless blue flowers.
Dandelion puffs
Sway slightly in the breeze,
Waiting to depart.
Stream water shimmers
Under canopy of leaves
Murmuring softly.
Extends forever--
Dappled woods and its sunshine,
Always beckoning.
Lying in shadows
Discarded piece of seat belt,
Holding no one in.
Bridge with no water
Spans across its own shadow
On this hot May day.
Walk of May 20, 2017
Lilacs on the side;
Lavender scent fills the air--
A burst of sunlight.
Color surrounded--
Purple, violet, blue (on lawn)--
Free gifts from nature.
Sun in its third eye,
Owl totem leans on the tree--
It's watchful waiting.
Enveloped by blooms
The two cows mow the front lawn.
(It's bovine duty.)
Shadow sculptured hill
Carefully guards its contents:
Collected sewage.
Lonesome mourning dove
Hoots from the forest distance
Soft unspoken tears.
Sun slips through the clouds
Painting shadows round the bend;
Then the shadows go.
A splash of white paint?
Or a dollop of bird shit?
Art on the pavement.
Pale mailbox puppy
Watches blankly from his perch--
Sees and says nothing.
