Spring rains close to blue

quiet as lightning, falling;

summer opens eyes

 

 

Yet unseen, you bloom

in a garden of crystals

amethyst & quartz

 

 

Dusty roses press

pierced by silver & distance

between now and then

 

 

Peonies blushing

delicious afternoon sheen

awash in these words

 

 

Us, underwater

unexpectedly, we grow

these aquatic roots

 

Nectar & stamen

sharing hidden beds & sheets

of slow rain dancing

 

Summer smiles on us;

we are more than the flowers

opening to drink.
