in the frozen river
resides the moon’s
mysterious landscape of light
Veil
lacy ice curtain
veils the dark woods
both awaiting the sun’s revelation
Winter’s Recompense
web of life
pulse of spring
renewal’s divining
Dream
pink bird flew
across the sky
showing me how to dream
Sugar Snow
oh reign of candy rain
enticing trees
to let the sweetness flow
Flower Found
a winter rose
pink petal bark
the birch in bloom
As It Is
weight of time
can be carried in every
form it comes in
Iceland
February grew
trees of ice
a forest of cold
Mountain Children
palisades reveal
the peaks and sheers
of this Appalachian’s child
Hard Won Purchase
granite and ice
a cold hard home
for velvet moss
The Change Space
mysteries of the space
in between the thing
and how it is seen
Synapse
signals sent
of bloom and rest and bloom
dormancy too must be received
Together
nothing in common
but proximity of place
root enough for community
Storm
so many clouds, a driving rain
a storm was grown
upon the tree
Dichotomy
without contradiction
arrived the second bloom
interpretation upheld by the past
Slow Waters
fountain in winter
slow flow
of ice and snow
Dendrites
wisdom grown
of fear or love
the web becomes the path
Stitched
snow threads
through thistle needles
quilting winter
River Wilds
leopard spots
zebra stripes
camouflage of ice
Luminary
snowing light
the maple tree’s
luminosity
Thirst
berries quench
my January thirst
for color
Winter Abstraction
storm’s contemplation
each flake a memory
and time reorganized
Blue Light and Dark
divine
blue sky
everything asparkle
Snow Bird
on oak
leafed wings
snow bird flew
Constellation
starry night
upon the ground
astronomy on earth
Happen By
colors sang
old songs of joy
for all who happened by
Snow Queen
her winter crown
rendered from
diamond light
Astronomy
it seemed
the moon had landed
inside the garden gate
The Plenty
how can I miss the flowers
when every leaf’s in bloom
fall bouquets abound on trees
Portrayal
designed by time
colors and lines
fallen fall
