in the brevity
of winter’s landscape
truth shines
When The Skies Open Up
red
dew drops
of crabapple rain
Primary Colors
yellow bird
amid red buds
awaits blue sky
Beacon
in May’s blue sky
liberty’s torch
bears magnolia’s flame
White Bloom
flower
in the night sky
April’s full moon
Hold
raindrops hold
to the branch
like hope to a wish
As It Is
weight of time
can be carried in every
form it comes in
Reprieve
drinking in
the blue blue sky
brief banishment of grey
Dendrites
wisdom grown
of fear or love
the web becomes the path
With
the better shelter
from the storm
is found with others
Faith
be still
in the darkness
for the light will find you
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
The Orchard’s Loom
a tapestry
the apple tree
hung upon the sky
The Plenty
how can I miss the flowers
when every leaf’s in bloom
fall bouquets abound on trees
Revealed
as leaves depart
the hideaway
is made known
Road Signs
full stop
traffic jam
of autumn’s color
Behold
the bravery
of the April flower
a beauty’s brevity
Illumination
fairy lights
these maple seeds
twinkle magic
Awakened
the brambles stir
branches pulse
with spring’s life force
First Light
morning hunt
the field awakens
and so the give and take
How
color was how
the world
sprang to life
Made
highlights
of light snow
March’s art nouveau
Steadfast in Love
grandmother apple tree
reaches out to me
pressing love and sweetness
into my hands
Waterfall Window Dressing
frozen cascade
winter’s cold curtain
oh the drapery of days
In The Sleepy Woods
trees dream in misty green
of heaven’s touch and fairy rings
Alternatives
white birch
stand in for snow
a flurry of branches
Tomorrow
at the new year’s start
everything seems to look and lean
into and toward the future
Circle Theory
in the bedlam of branches
some center emerges
the circle where beginnings and endings meet
Night Meets Day
bare branches
still covered in night
receive the morning sky
