deceptive in their delicacy
older than the dinosaurs
the fern a living fossil
Older Than Old
Welcoming Spring
kitchen sink
window sill
orchid bloom
The Still Snowy Way
the road given
is the road
that must be traveled
Awaken
splendid is the morning sun
beckoning to sap and leaves
rise sweetly and unfurl
The Greening Undaunted
the iris keep on
despite discouraging
evidence and occurances
Heaven Visits Earth
late snow
the celestial and terrestrial
entwines
Pretending
these could be
cherry blossom petals
so sweet they melt
March Mixer
raindrops in snow
atop the mulching leaves
entwined with the tenacity of grass
Like The Drifting Sky
longing to be
free as a cloud
riding the incoming warmth
Inspiration
to bend but remain upright
to break but not be broken
the heroics of a leaf
To Wear A Cloud
let go of everything
but your most essential elements
then raise your limbs high and wide
The River Is A Rainbow
throwing colors
and hopefulness
across the landscape
Together
we walk through shadows
and last years leaves
determining a path to the future
The Planets In Conversation
the sunset
offers her red prequel
to the blood moon
Found
another piece
to the puzzle
of life
Two Trees Crossed Like Skis
that secret place
we found
where winter welcomes spring
The Cold Still Bites
the river is running
but winter still
keeps her teeth out
Mabel Reminds Me How
to feel
my right to a place
in the world
Self Sufficiency
the sun reveals
last year’s leaves
nurturing new possibilities
Iris In Winter
a seed head bloom
in black and white
the winter gift of iris
March Teases Us With Spring
one day hinting at spring
then overnight
delivering more winter
Uplifted
joy materialized
as the primrose buds
and blooms
Looking Forward
a little shimmer
of summer
in the snowy sunshine
Trudging
knee deep snow
slows but does not halt
the search for a roost
Marshaled By Blue Sky
in the company
of blue sky and clouds
my strength gathers
Portent Of Spring
as sunlight illuminates
a spot of green
faith restored
Hope On The Horizon
morning silence broken by
the whisperings of
delicate colors
Falling
oh to be
caught and cradled
on the bough of a pine
Blue Is For Summer
blueberry bushes
rosy cheeked
in winter’s cold
Synchronized Ice
I see the sound
of ice birds
murmuration
