a hot summer’s day
there’s not a cloud in the sky
bathed in dazzling light
a vase of sunflowers
glow golden yellow
I sweep away leaves
from the inscription
on the garden path
a quote from Basho
taking me by surprise
you bring sunshine
into the house
and into my life
a vase of daffodils
on the dining table
sunflowers
bow their wilting heads
mourning the end of summer
i wonder where the year went
first evening chill
in the small garden
of an old people’s home
tall pink flowers bloom
nodding gently
in the fading light
beautiful day in
the botanical gardens
flowers, plants and trees
weaving together
stories of our family
