deep within
the bamboo forest
giant pandas feast
while listening to
nymphs play flute

(bamboo forest)
deep within
the bamboo forest
giant pandas feast
while listening to
nymphs play flute
.
do hummingbirds hide
in a secret red garden
of honeysuckle blooms
when icy turn the feeders
of caretakers in the warm?
.
leafless tree
stark white limbs await
winter’s first snow
.

(glass flowers)
hand blown flowers
forever beautiful garden
prism my love
for you and nature
fragility treasured
.
japanese maple
in all her autumn glory
beams brilliant red
.
bend but do not break
willow in a wind storm
wisdom unfurled
.
a space of green
flourishes in my garden
not yet touched by frost
.

(inside the flower)
heart of the flower
close secret of nature
holds souls waiting
to be found by the lost ones
in lifetime of sorrow

(photo of wisteria on cactus)
fragile lilac blooms
defy their beauty
cling to barbs and cacti
stone walls no barrier
forever climbing reaching

(tree in vortex)
sedona canyon
climb the trail to find
perfect spot to meditate
trees in line of vortex winds
spiraled into bliss
