As dusk descends a storm approaches,
celestial light graces the trees
and shelters the shadow of the house.
The Road Towards Summer
In a few weeks time this road will lead
to lazy days shimmering with heat and nights with fireflies.
Quiet Entrance
Spring sneaks in on little fox feet
greening the mountain while the world sleeps.
Living
In April the earth vibrates
with a growing, glowing green
that celebrates each second of aliveness.
Before Twilight
In the magic hours the forest glows
as trees catch the sun and release their dreams.
Horizon
My feet feel an earth drained of her color.
My mind’s eye imagines greens below blue skies.
Lonesome for Sunshine
Some days in April
Spring feels farther away
than in December.
Log Bridge
A fallen tree
makes the perfect spot
to sit and spy on fish.
Red Brush at Brook’s Bend
Colors begin to leak into the landscape.
Spring approaches.
Procession
Budding Out
In a burst of energy, renewal and hope colors are released
as trees transform the landscape from winter to spring.
Adventure
Forsythia
Rest
Other Side
Wanderer
At the edge of the apple grove the spring comes above ground
and wanders across the meadow laughing in delight at the change of season.
Moss
In Town
River Road
Half and Half
Two trees at the entrance to the woods
mark the dividing line between sun and shade.
Golden Willow
In the midst of winter,
the willow shines its golden light.
This is where the fairies dance at night.
