from bare trees to green hearts
and dancing fronds —
three weeks since April nudged May Continue reading

under the glass sky
trembling like butterfly wings,
thousands of orchids

after a hard rain,
flowers cast away petals
and bow to the wind
the rich darkness of the earth
smells ripe, bitter and alive

kids hunting tadpoles,
my icy toes walk, slip, slide
against the flow
dappled light on green water
birds hop branch to branch heckling

birds shake rain from wings,
the wind speaks in the trees
split leaf casings dance
withholding from hungry leaves
a dawn breakfast of sunlight

surf pounds the shore
of pink and gray speckled granite,
damp, stinging rain
when I move, even stones
sparkle like diamonds

full of heart

light shifts in the trees,
fallen leaves tumble and turn,
going with the flow
beached downstream for a moment
before another wind comes

sunset unfolds
one still summer night,
and restores my mood
Copyright 2023 Brenda Davis Harsham Continue reading

memories flash,
silver fish in the shallows
river-cold then gone
