golden sun sinking
painting blooms of amber light
through swaying marsh reeds
Night Watch
cat at the door waits
mysteries of night unfold
silent sentinel
Blue Hydrangea
grand blooms purple blue
cobalt vase cradles their grace
bold in quiet space
Empty Mansion
storm clouds gathering
weathered facade bears witness
to a slant of light
Marshlands
in murky marshlands
gators grin, birds take their stand
hello, mud and land
Cottonwoods
gnarly cottonwoods
branches stretch to leaves in white
monochrome delight
One-Room Schoolhouse 1907
swaying moss-draped trees
the distant cries of seagulls
one-room schoolhouse stands
Twilight’s Embrace
in purple-pink hues
sunset’s brush of brilliance glows
embracing twilight
A Final Farewell
blooms fading softly
last gift from a heart now still
vase cradling my tears
One Among None
one great egret stands
among a crowd of wee birds
peering marsh water
Wild Iris
its graceful presence
arrives in morning twilight
life as a flower
