Some smile through sadness,
flowers have a rough side, too—
life is as you see.
As you see
Hide and seek
That freshly mowed lawn,
a valley of nothingness—
buzzing with new life.
Smitten
Dating life of trees—
darling your roots are showing,
you’re so down to earth.
Ephemeral
Summer storm’s coming
flowers blossom in a rush—
living while they can
Etched
Childhood memories,
embossed in our history—
leaf on wet cement.
