frozen – Page 3 – Leaf And Twig

Sugared Maple

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

I dreamed of the marsh in winter
and saw tawny wheat growing in sand as soft as a cloud.

The moment is caught in midstream
like the oak leaf
frozen in time.

Humble, mighty reed
healer of land and water
sleep sweet in your frozen bed.

The ice erases
the sky and trees
as it creeps across the pond.

All your miles brought you to this empty field.
Doors are flung wide, frozen in time,
your driver and passenger eternally on the run.
