constructed by weather
lichen and with branch clapper
chiming with ice
Wind Chime
Fine Lines
traced in snow
the grace and reach
of a leafless tree
Late Afternoon Flurry
oh to be home
snug in the warm
while winter winters on
Fresh Snow
a new beginning
all paths
to be made anew
The Forest Made A Snow Maiden
she exalts us
with her one raised limb
as we walk by
In The Midst Of Winter
thank goodness
for the pines and sunlight
whispering of spring
Shadow Network
crossing
and connecting
one another
Sound Effects
memories carry
the babble
of the now silent brook
Geography Of Snow
minor mountains
zig zag
in light and shadow
Impelled
no prisoner to the cold
impeded and still
the brook runs free
For Those Who Walked Ahead
we follow your path
and thank you
for making our journey easier
Spot Of Green
in the pale landscape
winter elevates
moss and lichen
Beneath The Snowy Pine
the storm
makes shelter
of itself
A Ripple Of Vision
seeing through
this borrowed view
an echo of sight
Slow Falling
we were inside
the snow globe
looking out
Held
in the tall woods
I am small
right sized in nature’s palm
Uprightness
in the forest of knowing
amidst the flurries and hurry
trees ~ standing ground
Rest
each flake
found its place
and now all are one
Winter Poet
cattails write
a single line of poetry
on the river’s icy page
Here
stand in the woods
with the quiet and the white
you are a part of the beauty and the peace
All Sorts And Conditions
in snow and ice
a branch both nude and barked
leaves sheltered and exposed
A Gift Of Vast Proportions
nothing
more precious
than blue sky
Helping Each Other
a fall avoided
caught by
a bystander
An Arch Of Trees
we recognize this threshold
and step through
to tranquility
Dear Dusty Miller
retrieved from the garden in late October
now on January’s window sill
defying winter with your growth and green
To Taste The Sky
morning began
as a raspberry orange sorbet
prepping my palette for a blueberry day
Below The Beaver Dam
even the stillness
stops
to catch up to itself
Sparkling Wonder
winter’s breath
blessing every twig
bedazzling the landscape
Undaunted
uprooted
but still upright
this is resolve
Whispering Snow
the forest
shares her secrets
with the whispering of snow
