Daybreak is a heart weighed down

Then sunshine reflecting on an elderberry tree

Clusters of flowers as bright as snow

A butterfly chaffinch on the feeder

This year’s chick already astute

The rusty red mushroom of a Japanese maple

Eloquence in a dancing yellow rose

My wooden regal eagle

The dial of eternal time

Tubs clustered in fragile purples

And golden leafy passions

Fighting branched out conifers in sea green

White button flowers of a red hat lady

Pleasures of intoxicating blue dendrums

This is my warm breakfast on a cold day in Summer

Mine for the taking lunch, dinner and supper

A day to live and breath Mother Earth

And bathe in sunlight and bring blossom to a pale heart!
