The light hit in just the right slant, rays breaking in, the blue of the sky diving into the deeper amber shades on the far horizon and I feel as if I am at the bottom of a lake, slowly being pulled to the surface, satisfied to be drowning in one breathtaking moment. —C.L. Fisher,Continue reading “Breathtaking”

The Iris
She doesn’t know how deeply she reflects the beauty of movement, a hued grace, the glint of light and deep tint of lavender or blue, and she stills, petals in elegant folds, a ballerina posed, elegance in perfect arabesque. —C.L. Fisher, Sept, 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, all writings and images are the work of C.L.Continue reading “The Iris”
First Signs
Here are the beginnings, the first turn of leaf, a fall burst of orange or shades of yellow, the green apple-like acorn resting in the frilled nest until the woven wood cap weakens its grip, lets go the darkened nut, and ages into a peachy, golden tan, and I long to walk under a canopyContinue reading “First Signs”
The Rose
A profusion of pink roses bending ragged in the rain –speaks to me of all gentleness and its enduring. – William Carlos Williams The rose holds ribboned metaphor, sharpened imagery, hued simile, as a bud or in full bloom, summer peach, wild crimson, or rush of blushing pink, a rose, just as a rose is…Continue reading “The Rose”
Loom of Life
“…The loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning.” — Henry Ward Beecher I’ve witnessed creation’s expanse through natural windows so many times, looms, like the weave of these limbs, provide a glimpse into a divine expanse, andContinue reading “Loom of Life”

Lullaby
Raindrops softly tapping the window is nature singing us a sweet lullaby. — Unknown It was not long before the lingering rumbles and gently plodding rain lulled me to sleep, a sweet, late afternoon nap that reminded me of the pleasure of being still, being safe, being comforted by all the warm-niceties in this placeContinue reading “Lullaby”

Silk Maiden
The spider skillfully grasps with its hands, and it is in kings’ palaces. — Proverbs 30:28, NKJV How could you ever frighten me? Here you are just a seamstress letting go your silken thread, weaving on purple satin petals, spinning your own translucent web. –C.L. Fisher, August 2021 —C.L. Fisher, August 2021 Unless otherwise indicated,Continue reading “Silk Maiden”
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”
