New Coolness

This morning is especially gray. I open the door to the lushness of my garden that is still mostly green. I am greeted by a pair of butterflies dancing around the blooms of the butterfly bush. A welcome sight. As I step outside cupping my mug of tea, I note that it is cooler than I thought. It feels like autumn has taken hold.

new coolness

butterflies brighten gray as
autumn calls

Summer Solstice

on this, the longest day

she flits from flower to flower –

with the butterfly bush,

she takes her time

First Snow

teetering on young leaves
of the butterfly bush,
small piles of first snow

Butterfly Bush

deep into autumn
a blooming butterfly bush –
lone leaf rides the wind

Sound of Silence

a pair of butterflies
move as one
a rhythm born to them
in waltz through
the sound of silence
