Meditation
“I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and fragrant, between its leaves.” ― L.M. Montgomery A single rose blushing peach-pink deep within each satin fold releases such a lush incense I think myself lost in the ancient garden, back when all beauty was thornless. —C.L. Fisher,Continue reading “Meditation”
Vibrancy
Rosemary … for rememberance and pansies… for thoughts… — Shakespeare A pansy and some silver lace waited for me this January day, in a month that seems endless — How can it be only 5 weeks since Christmas? 2022 has rolled in slowly, hovering, heavy, almost monotone, each day like the next, but thisContinue reading “Vibrancy”
The First Pleasure
God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures. — Francis Bacon I imagine Eve tended the roses that bloomed in the garden, dreamily losing herself down the silky stairwells into a beauty that stills the soul. —C.L.

Last Leaf
“I would always look up and wonder if I would be blest to see the last single leaf holding on-“ —gracegardenpoems This was truly the last leaf from the bur oak tree, a hold from our memory of a green and lush spring under a sky as blue as the Bay at Naples, and theContinue reading “Last Leaf”

Fisher, November 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, all writings and images are theContinue reading “Jewel Bloom”
Cape Daisy
You hold a sunrise, the edges and brightness of orange and mellowness of a lavender awakening to plum; your arms outstretch in perfect white light, you are nested in the most vibrant green — an entire arboretum I could walk through again and again, if only I had more hours to amble and get lostContinue reading “Cape Daisy”
Cornerstone
The petals so saturated by the vibrancy of red rested on the cool rock nestled near the garden’s edge, symbiotic beauty, silk on stone, like our own fragile hearts held by God’s love alone. —C.L.

A Pleasant Passing
I saw a wispy puff of spring next to a little sunny bloom on a warm afternoon in January. The sun sent waves through the crystalline blue, and I was content to sit under the cloud-strewn sky and pray next to the little garden. —C.L. Fisher, January 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, all content, including writingContinue reading “A Pleasant Passing”
The Bur Oak Tree
I enjoy the serene offerings of cornflower blue lantana, the pleasing scent of yellow shrub roses, the moonlight glow of the blue plumbago that all grow near or under the canopy of this strong bur oak, a shield and protector in this tiny garden I roam. This day, this hard day when life is setContinue reading “The Bur Oak Tree”
