be still
in the darkness
for the light will find you
To Thine Own Self
each inclined
toward truth in self
such freedoms in the field
Snow Bird
on oak
leafed wings
snow bird flew
Rainy Day Music
rain plays
on tin roofs
symphony for birds
Violet Advent
third Sunday
violet advent
arrives in the window
Outlier
snow balanced on limbs
daring the wind
to draw new silhouettes
Berry Decor
the yard
was decorated
in berries bright and red
Constellation
starry night
upon the ground
astronomy on earth
Seeing Screen
impending storm
winter window foretells
the approaching landscape
Winter’s Nest
filled with snow
a cozy cold
winter’s nest
Happen By
colors sang
old songs of joy
for all who happened by
Finery
winter etches
all the fine edges
into landscape and memory
Snow Queen
her winter crown
rendered from
diamond light
Portals
life passes through
on the way
to the great beyond
The Orchard’s Loom
a tapestry
the apple tree
hung upon the sky
Slow Flakes
December storm
the world
snowglobe-ed
Kitchen Window View
unswerving is
the comfort of conifers
dependability of green
Wild Strawberries
with berries gone
leaves reminiscence
still coloring the lawn
Advent
each rising day
owes recompense
to the necessary night
Emerald Wall
barrier embraced
hard edges softened
by a majesty of moss
Carapace
the fern
tortoise shelled
winter’s slow approach
Home to Roost
place for all
on the roof ridge perch
line of lineage
Astronomy
it seemed
the moon had landed
inside the garden gate
All Is Right
let the day
find you
as you are
Resonance
in the echo
your song
is sung anew
Letting Go
ascending the morning fog
flying with the birds
unbound
Hush
quiet falling
silence
on the ground
Home Together
place
made known
by stone and heart
Wild
herd
of birch gathers
in the zebra woods
Tentative
first snow
a little shy
to be dropping by
