the sun obscured
a wintry day
the willow weeps
Spring Flowering
a rose
of snow
bloomed in March
Now
clarity found
in the misty woods
eternity is always now
History
the pinecone
elucidates the pine tree
on how things came to be
Rise
radiance is the soul
making itself known
Seeing Through
seek
intimacy with existence
look without naming
Apeiron
stripes of white
cut through
an infinity of blue
Summoning Blue Skies
the mountain ridge
the sumac’s reach
the destiny of spring
Glimmer
glinting ice
in the snowy field
a wink from spring
Sugar
if the necessary conditions
are not met
there will be no sugar on snow
The One Hundred Year Old Window
lens of the past
abstracting the present
waves of light and memories
The Geography of Time
snow recedes
with the mysteriousness
of spring’s birth
Maewyn Succat
in lieu
of four leaf clover
make do
with lichen and ice
Entheogen
like the leaf and vine
hope and faith entwined
Favorite
loved best
the birch wears
a coat of many colors
Declared
sun shoulders out the snow
last years blooms trumpet
beauty’s determination
Source
within the somber silence
the black and white of things
darkness gestates spring
Orchard Dance
wind swirls
skirts of snow
at the feet of trees
Gathering of Bohemians
wanderers rest
finding rhapsody
in the crabapple tree
Courtship
frost feathers the window
even the cold romances spring
Jubilation
joy is the sustenance
the hungry heart seeks
Old Friend
I recognize eternity
by the light of the moon
Flight
tail feathers
dipped in sunshine
rising on the updraft of spring
First Stirrings
seeds slumber while
forced bulbs bloom
in late winter’s light
Prologue
before the song of spring
the robin can be seen
Sky Light
a ray of light
within the dark
rekindles hope
and warms the heart
Victual
big appetite for life
his hunger is for spring
Only
sunlight and shadows
traverse
the pristine field
Corsage for March
pinned upon
the white gown of March
dressing early for the spring fling
Standing Side By Side
rooted in the now
the wind
is their breath
