paradox of the purple bloom
petals holding both
snow and sun
Red Canoes Huddle In The Protection Of The Pines
as cold gathers
at the marsh’s edge
and starts to fill the sky
Welcome
fleeting
glimpse of spring
blackbird visiting
Emergence
the past
arises
from the ice
Bee Boxes
hives stir
as the river melts
quiet workings of spring
Leaf Life
sculpture on ice
bas relief
of a leaf’s life
The Long And Short Of It
the melt has started
but the freeze
hangs on
Starfish
a sudden
summer memory
the seaside captured by cold
Spied
merest
hint of green
hope enough for March
Thin Ice
suspended on
the surface of things
seeking a breakthrough
Treacherous Beauty
greeted by
the elegance of ice
in the glimmering morning
Embellished View
lace edged eves
winter’s
window dressing
Symmetry
as you are
so
you give
Ice storm
in the shine
of the woods
winter days slipping by
Into The Calm
slow deep breath
long light sigh
again then again
Sunlight Ice
tiny tiny rainbows
rainbows
none the less
Swiss Cheese
ice moon
on the eve
taste of cold
Window Feathers
cold
goose down’s
over the view
Ohhh Ahhh
frozen fireworks
sparklers
on the window
Tail Feathers
peacock’s
plumage blooms
fans on the window
Time’s Sculpture
every edge
sharpened by cold
carving it’s shape into air
Captured
held
in place
by winter’s embrace
Everything At Once
each element
finds the perfect place
next to all the rest
Feats of Beauty
despite
cold facts
a bloom
Stop Action
the world stirs
then stops again
spring’s incremental approach
Forbearance
spring’s green
biding her time
beneath the ice
Murmuration
flight
of the frozen
ice bird flock
So Often Forgotten
time carries
me through my
transgressions of faith
Rest
between
her windy travels
oak leaf rests on ice
Iris Wreath
a circle of life
dormancy
gives rise to rebirth
