frost – Page 3 – Leaf & Twig

Behold

the light
of fog and frost
incarnation of hope

Edges

in the places
where we meet
we find who we are

Declaration

every edge
announced itself
declaring place in space

Courtship

frost feathers the window
even the cold romances spring

Gleaming

traverse the inevitable darkness
in honor of the gleaming
of the morning sun

Bravery

Precious bleeding heart
daring a hard frost
bursts forth

Diamond Woods

sunlight on frost
the woods bejeweled
and glittering

Spring’s Sentry

Creeping phlox
sneaks up the mountain
stalking the last of the frost.

Instigators

fiery redheads
maples flaunt color
daring a frost

Frosty Morn

The pond has broken winter’s icy hold
but the land struggles to shrug off the frosty morning cold.

Quiet White

Winter
white washes
the woods.

Sugared Maple

The frozen world
creates the leaf’s
next incarnation of beauty

Frost Beard

The stump
wears a stubble of frost
autumn’s five o’clock shadow

Golden Thread and Meadow Ribbon

A sparkling of frost
gloriously gift wraps
the meadow.

Alchemy

The spirit of Maxfield Parish frosted the ground
with a sorbet of oranges, purples and pinks.
A winter elixir that chills fairies’ drinks.

Nature’s Desire

Grass blades grow frost feathers.
Every molecule demanding that their place in the design be realized.
Nature’s desire is to manifest gloriousness.

Late Bloom

The first hard frost has taken all the leaves.
One brave bloom reaches for the sun.
