daylilies begin
to bloom in sun
all the years
they grow, flower,
wait through winter
and return again
Karl has taken great care with the hosta and lilies through the years. They grow close to our old house. We keep the path to the back door clear, which means a few bouquets for the house. We have a well, and do not water the gardens. What is there grows well.
bird song blessings
early in the morning
breakfast and the Psalms
morning sun lilies
grow tall in the light
and will bloom soon
breakfast and a view
of the gardens
work at the kitchen sink
and by the window
words as I look outside
“green garden rain”
daylilies begin to form
their flowers
peonies in the area
bow to needed rain
beautiful gardens
in all their growth
and changes
over time
mid-June
plants and flowers
grow in gardens
perhaps I often say
“their best year so far”
old and new flowers
grow and bloom together
in the gardens
Yesterday afternoon, I heard this poem again (from July 2012).
recollections
of summers gone by
voices on the breeze
long June days
ferns grow tall
in afternoon sun
