Ice creeps across the marsh.
Pine trees await their white winter coats.
Cold sharpens the silence.
Cold Creek
The creek moves fast cutting its way
through the meadow towards the river
trying to outrun the inevitable freeze.
Jacob’s Brook
Math
The winter term is in session.
The pond provides a lesson in icy geometry.
Ice Flow
The moment is caught in midstream
like the oak leaf
frozen in time.
The Heart of Ice
Hope is the energy that beats the heart.
Light is its manifestation.
Love fills the space in between.
Snake and Bird
In the winter landscape
the snake with his skin of leaves and grass
hunts the water bird.
Before the Silence
The river moans
as ice begins to creep from bank to bank
silencing it for the winter.
