NASTURTIUMS IN THE SUN

NASTURTIUMS IN THE SUN

Autumn morning sunlight lights

leaves and flowers of tumble-growing

nasturtiums by veranda side.

Shifting to air's slightest flowing,

rounded leaves, so broad and bright,

veined from centre like green suns,

sparkle with white drops from night's

dewfall, bright as scattered gems.

From the greeness flowers poke

in untidy celebration ,

luminous with sunshine, glowing

yellow, orange, orange-red,

burning notes to sing to sight-

kisses from the heart of light.
