Daisies

I awaken,

My room full of daisies,

Five feet tall –

Blooms, ten inches.

Around.

I dreamed this.

Room full of ideas,

From my mind, planted.

Growing, but with roots.

Deep.

Difficult to pick –

And so many.  Varied in weight. Choose which one first?

One a symbol of a lonely glacier. It says, pick me!

I need friends!

Another, a simile. Like a single red rose meant

For a lover.

I choose that one. Rose disguised as daisy –

Love disguised as decisive.

I need both hands for strength to harvest my heart’s desire. It’s big and strong, this daisy/rose.

This idea, this feeling, runs deep.

True beauty

Floral

Lions’ manes seek springtime

Sunshine

Tulip forests in

Red, yellow, purple, and pink

Coats shed, packed deep away.

Camellias, red

Maple buds, chartreuse –

Aphrodite appears; love season arrives.

Desires tire of their winter weather timeouts

Red merry widows, pink satin Freudian

Slips

Flushing faces and blue silk swirl

Come waltz a floral fairytale

With me.

Softest pink slip of love

Life Aligned

Fox naps

Dreams

How she has kept her tail

Quiet, not hunted

But she will hunt after sunset

Belly empty

Beaver works

Prepares

Neither is she hunted

Keeps her pelt

Focused, busy, belly full

Pond and forest, fox and beaver,

Life aligned

Husband returns

Door harp chimes

Suburban forest, backyard pond

Food, plenty, comfort, love

Life aligned

Spring Breakfast

Among spent dandelions –

A little finch

Her morning repast.

Spring season, and a spring in her tiny step.

Then sated –

Time to move on.

Ahead of me in her day –

I’ve yet to arise and move on with my day.

I daydream

I wonder where she flies..
