For Barry

So long ago

yet

it was yesterday

I miss you dear brother

Purple Haze

Washing over

reality

~

The Ever Beautiful Trillium

So dainty

so elegant

living deep in the forest

where only a hint of light comes through

but just enough

for the trillium to flourish

~

The Sweet Scent of Spring

The beautiful

intoxicating

Honeysuckle

~

Mother's Day Wishes

To all moms

everywhere

May your day be as beautiful

as you are

~

Bedazzling the Forest

Deep in the woodlands

this sweet iris grows

in that tiny bit

of sunlight

it discovered

~

The Touch

Reaching out

to one another

~

Youth Elusive

But a moment in time

that is remembered

and cherished

forever
