To See Creatively

While walking by, I came to see, 
a high archway to the trees.
The sky so wonderful calls me
to stop, look over, and then just sigh
in odd amazement at the view,
as truly, I tell you,
here, at the ground-level,
there was a field of rusted cars,
so much old wreckage in the long dry grass.
 
'See Creatively' -
Look up and into the painted sky of beauty.



A Place To Be

 
 
From where I sit I see
a fruiting lemon tree 
surrounded by blue salvia
and abundant easter-daisy blooms just outside my room.
 
And here within I bring
the sitting stillness where I am deeply listening.
As you look into my quiet space,
you see this room really has no room at all,
and the sacredness of place
comes from what I feel in my spaciousness within.
 
So I bring simplicity inside here, 
as I close the door to distractions
and ask myself Who Am I 
I Am a place to be
open to the calm within me.

The Peace Of Simplicity

 
It is mid-summer-time, with intense heat,
so what I give to you this day
is something simple just to say,
'Keep Going',
as the first autumn Crocus
is showing above the ground
and the peace of Alyssum,
is all that is all-around.
 
These simple blessings come
to share with everyone.

Blue Feather Forever

On this bright sunny day 
when the rainbow Rosellas flew away
a brilliant blue feather
was left as a treasure
to share. 
 
Adelaide Rosellas 
crowd into the small cypress tree
and gleefully gobble flower-berries.

The Flowers Know

The flowers know the birds will come.
  
 The feather-light hummingbird,
eastern spine-bill,
 feeds on nectar from red and blue Salvia
 

Red And Blue


Now there are,
brilliant blue lilies in my summer garden,
and humming-birds feeding in crimson Chinese lanterns.
 
I have heard it said 'birds love blue and red'.

This is Answer 2, if any of you
are following Q &A 
with your flowers each day.

Hello Koala In Our Irish Strawberry Tree

 
This morning he came to visit Rabbit,
and then decided to stay all day,
just above the ground.
So calm and friendly as you see,
he strolled across the patio garden
and up,
the Strawberry Tree.
