big slice of
flourless chocolate cake
a forest sized serving
Another New Snow
the white on white
of birch in snow
a calming quietude
Birch Bark Mushroom
decomposition
a transition of
sustenance to self
Tall Tales Told
I stood with the trees
listening to them
share their stories
Solitude
I gave
my heart to nature
now I am never alone
Three Birch By The Barn Door
these friends
experience, strength and hope
my life’s companions
They Dwell Together
length of birch
layers of brick
swirling of snow
The Dream After Waking
dawn reveals
the frosted woods
a lingering sugerplum dream
The Old Birch Disrobed
time
takes her
seasons dress her
Milkweed Snow
the snow
before the snow
beginnings in endings
The Birch Glittering
like being lifted
into heaven
living in so much beauty
Color Burns In The Rain
maple flames
birch trails
white smoke
Watching The Clouds Parade
this rightful place
at river’s edge
near summer’s end
In The Enormous Woods There Perches A Tiny Soul
feathered emerald
the size
of a birch leaf
Becoming
nothing
to do
but right now
Restoration
leaves to unfurl
songs to sing
spring’s beginnings
The Arrangement
weathering
winter
together
The Time When Time Wanders
shadows
stretched by sunshine
long winter days
Growing Down
in the land
of icicle trees
amidst birch
Hope Surrounds Us
the snow
fell like stars
white blanket of wishes
Serenity At The Oxbow
the river’s clarity
a love poem
to stillness
Unlocked
through
cold’s keyhole
the day accessed
Paramours
side by side
the lovely couple
changing with the seasons
On The Terrace By The Connecticut
river rushes by
flowers take
their time
Anticipation
blushing birch
a flowering
before flowers
The Spirit’s Residence
woods
between the trees
sanctuary
Out and About
a breath of fresh air
to carry us through
to true Spring
Full Voice
never too early
to sing
spring’s song
Murmuration
flight
of the frozen
ice bird flock
Resonance
echos of white
between
the river and birch
