Charmed

Fuchsia Bougainvillea, October 2023





On this silver day
a crowded fuchsia bower
charms me with her song

Lilac Tumble

Morning Glories, October 2023


 

Cascading glory,
a lilac tumble befriends
the well rooted oak

Planting in Faith

Red Spider Lilies, October 2023


 

Let me plant in faith
even when I've no idea
about the harvest



* I've had an affection for the red spider lily (sometimes called hurricane lilies) for many years. I first saw them in East Texas on youth retreats in the fall. I would slip away in the afternoons with my camera and roam the path around the lake to find them. Since then, I've planted a few at home and they always brighten up the garden after a long, hot summer.
