vermillion skies
siskins barter and chime
queet queet
ivy creeps through
dewy gates of blade and stalk
an orb weaver panels the day
with her glistening mandala
a bluejay calls out
warnings to the finches
taking up residence in a beech
a ladybird crawls the ivy
its lacy pattern
evidence of daily sustenance
a starling beckons the flock
its gravel song an insult to the ear
goldfinches chorus
without harmony only heart
chattering amongst the zinnias
a woman tends her garden
a man walks his dog
a mated pair of hawks flies low
doves perch like angels
watching a sunrise
day breaks the night
a resurrection of life
