water offers
a reflective reminder
of life’s fragile fluidity
Halt
birch and brushs’
wade through winter
halted by the frozen flood
Fortification
the landscape floods with color
and soaks into our every cell
fortifying us for winter’s long monochrome
Seepage
long river
creeps over her banks
occupying low lying fields
Survivor
The flood waters ate away your soil,
but still you remain, standing tall;
your root ball defying gravity.
