the waters of spring
flood the meadows with blossoms?
walking the cows home

Crisp water runs smooth through roots
A lone shadow crawls.

gypsies lose their virgin souls
in cold, snow bathed streets

Sky full of clover:
a bouquet of red roses
one lonely tulip

Blue sparks jump from heavy clouds
Rain soaks a white rose.

Overlooks magic gardens
Water lilies bloom

In silent fairy gardens
Aglow with your light

Sing the blood flowers
The rice starving in the bowl
Down here is the moon

Seen from far away,
the leaves fallen from bare trees
look like brown blossoms.

Rose hues on gray sky
Earth blue islands faraway
Worlds where no one dies.

midair, not a flower near?
maybe lost in thought.

Hummingbird in air.
Cat hiding in the garden.
Milk now turned sour.

pink orchard blossoms
swayed by the breeze greet the sun
diffusing sweet scent

diffusing sweet scent
drenched in summer rain
thunder rolling overhead
we're caught in full bloom

falls to the window; inside
autumn is in bloom

The month filled with snowy days.
May we rescue fear?

weighted in the morning dew
drops tears of nature

drops tears of nature
behind the old fence
a gathering of roses
who do they wait for?
