Goodbye :: Hello

Rhythm of life...
come and go...come and go...
ebb and flow.
(Lines from a song I wrote...with God and Solomon...
that I will have to share sometime...)
That rhythm can be felt with a walk in the garden.
Goodbye...crocuses, tulips and daffodils...
Until next year, lilacs and forsythia.
Dear, sweet friends.
Changes with time...
new and old...new and old...
ebb and flow.

Hello annuals...dusty miller, impatiens,and vinca.
strange-leafed coleus... in weathered clay pots.
Ridin' the wave...
high and low...high and low...
ebb and flow.
Hello Late Spring perennials...
Under the sun...
hot and cold...hot and cold...
ebb and flow.
The fragrant peony.
Blossoming shrubs. Hello...you... your name escapes me... Delores? Bridal Veil Spirea. Hello, hostas.
Relinquishing power...
have and hold...letting go...
ebb and flow.
Milkweed...
welcoming the monarch.
Chives in bloom...delightful and edible!
Knowing true peace...
to believe God's control...
ebb and flow.
For everything a season...
everything a purpose...
under heaven.
