fixed by cold
and held by ice
summer and autumn’s pigments
Winter Encaustic
Change
many are the beginnings
and the sheddings
that escort us into the new
The Waterfall In Winter
some of you
never make the full descent
balanced instead on a high wire of cold
Promise
on the broken branch
in the ice
verdant thriving
Costume Jewelry
ice makes diamonds
when snow becomes raindrops
the sparkle is of rhinestones
Obscured It Means More
like the remnants of a sweet dream
just out of reach with waking
glimpses of green
March The Month Of Everything
both snow and ice
with water running free
blue sky and clouds jostling
Seen And Seen Again
birch in the sun
are echoed as
icicles in shade
Sleepy House
eyelid of ice
the window
half closed
Spring Dream
new life
hatched and feathered
in sunshine and blue sky
Apparitions Of Spring
like garden ghosts
leaves appear
upon the icy window
Physics At The Brook’s Edge
if time itself could be seen
this is how it would appear
stopped and moving all at once
Solidarity
secrets shared
between
rocks and ice
Everlasting Ever Changing Unions
stone, water, branch
fallen and frozen, rushing and static
married this winter day
An Artist At Work
each underwater stroke
ripples the surface
new abstractions of reflections
This Tree
still waving goodbye
to the trains
that no longer cross the trestle
A Tenacity Of Delicacy
thrown to the ground
by a punishing wind
intricacies undaunted
Mop Of Cold
bent to the river by cold
held to new work by ice
servitude of sweeping
Ice Monster
it gave
a silent roar
rattling primal bones
The Season’s Fashion
the myriad ways
winter wears white
in snow and ice, birch and cloud
January Thaw
a window into coexistence
the ice and mud
dried leaf and green grass
Reaching For Each Other
stepping stones
growing into the whole
of a frozen crossing
Early Winter Abstraction
morning’s bright sun
has turned the roof ice to lace
the still colorful world peeks through
Small And Sharp Like Puppy Teeth
the cold
has just begun
to nibble at the world
Winter’s Design
mosaic of ice
the ground’s
beauty enshrined
Unseen Work
beneath the snow
revealed by the sun
spring has already begun
Emeralds and Diamond Ice
the forest grows
her own kind
of jewels
Winter Is A Spider
the web
she weaves
is a dense tapestry
Wonder
the world is frozen
and yet
everything’s in motion
The Teeth Of Winter
below zero
the air bites
and ice chews granite
