losses in life
low setting sun
through branches of trees
now rises again
as birds quietly sing
*
dragonfly rests
for a moment
on the tree branch
long enough for me
to see each wing
*
reading the poets
of my parents’
generation
their voices
return
(SMILE, 2010)
*
timeless summer day
I don’t know how old
these plants are . . .

I was happy to learn about Wendy Brightbill’s new gathering beauty newsletter. Wendy’s site is a girl and her brush.

roses in the sun
some ending
some beginning
and some in full bloom
good to grow older
