although dormant
still sending colors
up to the sky
Like A Sunset
The Shadow Lace Of Bare Trees
sunshine rests
on the dormant garden’s
bench
She Persists
the celebratory nature
of the garden persists
despite winter’s imposed dormancy
Definition
the finery
of emptiness
defined by snow
The Winter Garden
neither
cold nor dormancy
stills the enchantment
Readying
grasses softly sing
slumber’s sweet lullaby
of approaching dormant days
Dark Sky
dormancy depends
on darkness gathering round
the necessary shroud
sheltering inchoate spring
Barn and Branch
honoring the importance of dormancy
neither barn nor branch is impatience
Portrait of a Winter Day
In the stillness
all possibilities
are incubated.
Resting Fields
The days grow shorter, the land lays dormant.
Rest is essential to creation.
Winter will gestate Spring.
