The Garden Wall
Do Phlox feel blue to be
behind the garden wall?
Do Gunnera feel awkward,
weighted down by leaves
so large, green giants
greedy for damp space
between the dainty marigold
and its open yellow face?
Might Red Hot Pokers
frighten off the chill
of night? Could Candelabra
Primula, their separate
heads and watchful eyes,
prevent the stream
from running down the hill
and out the garden gate?
And what if Rhododendron
mastered every art,
racing at the speed of light
to breach the wall,
to conquer worlds beyond?
Would stone contain
and air confine
their lusty aims?
Let trees with all their Fibonacci
limbs and leaves reach and stretch
to offer shade outside the wall,
as roots cling firmly
to the garden soil that mothers
Violets, double Daffodils.
Lupine, dressed in multi-colored garb,
standing tall and straight,
will guard the garden wall.
When reading this I was reminded of a scene the last time I was in Switzerland. Here is my painting of "Lupines".

Consider stopping by a show of my entire available works at the Campbell House in Southern Pines during the month of May. The show is called "Light and Legacy" and includes Carol Owen's beautiful spirit houses.
It's a lovely time of year to explore that area!
