Blossom Of My Soul

flower of my mind
petal of my heart
blossom of my soul
this flowing grace of spirit
dance I in its caressing love
sing I in its chorus of devotion
silent and resounding be its passion
lilting be its gentle fervor
flower of my mind
petal of my heart
blossom of my soul.

Petals

The Iris in its gift of bloom
Emergent beauty in hues of splendor
Majestic grace in nature's array
Petals in sublime surrender.

Haiku Mood - At My Door

'tis morning to greet
the calling at my front door
a songbird in flight

the light of the sun
quivering of grass and leaf
sweet fragrance of bloom

leaf, petal, feather
delivered by gentle winds
gift of bloom and bird.

Within

Within the petal the bloom
Within the leaf the tree
Within the stone the mountain
Within the shell the sea.
