off in the distance
winter is a train loaded with cold
closing the miles between us
The Approach
Woodland Expression
shadows and the softness
given by distance
deliver an abstracted woods
You Are Here
the big birch
our reference point
from which to wander
The Space Between
we remain
a part of each other
even in separation
Away
in the woods
in the quiet and calm
carry on, carry on
Cows In The Pasture
however far away
place holders
for a summer’s day
Visibility
Christmas
in the distance
the thinly visible pine
Miles of Moonlight
autumn leaves
illuminated by
the milky way
Wild Fire
deep in the shade
wild columbine’s
embers burn
Distance’s Proximity to Closeness
in the distance runs the town
while I tend my quiet surrounds
Dwelling
between the leaves
resides
the house of mysteries
Distance
when spring seems
the farthest from home
it is March
