Hope

photo of a single bright purple flower against a hollow window

A life of darkness;
vibrant flower on a vine—
sheds light in our lives.

Rose

Photo of a white rose, surrounded by bright green plants, just after some rain.

In a sea of green,
a cool autumn afternoon—
my white rose blooming.

The end

Close up photo of a dying rose bud in the foreground, and a blurry view of the sunset in the background.

Flowers have their days;
at long last the time has come,
for the sun to set.

Greet

Close up photo of a sunflower.

All hail the sunshine
greeting the lord with finesse—
common sunflower.

Flowering

Photo of a tree laden with pink flowers.

Little pink droplets
raining down on my back yard
a feast for the bees
