is somehow softened by the wind
and columbine’s enchanting dance

in a granite sky
amidst the clouds of moss
twinkle lichen stars

tenacious as barnacles
cling to the end of autumn

you notice me
eavesdropping on
your song
Blackberry Lily
you
ripen like
your namesake

the color wheel
gaining speed

gathered
on to

to the ‘luck’
of a determined tree

bringing blossoms into being

bright green moss
under snow
yes hope springs eternal

I peered
into an ocean
made of granite

the air bites
and ice chews granite

a part of each other
even in separation

of pastel pink
a granite bloom

big shouldered
a granite monument
to strength and endurance

the many places
and ways
snow finds repose
