the ground has lost it’s blanket
but the pond’s white sheet of ice
is still pulled tight
Now Voyager
spirits voyage
into the pink
back to the source
Indecision
woods wrapped
in a shroud of cold
elements undecided
more rain or snow
Held
lichen blooms
on the granite post
barbed wire holds
the cold
Divination
the lean of the fence posts
divines the lay of the land
Distant Fields
off in the distance
a four square
of snow filled fields
Hold Fast
our hearts recognize each other
let them touch and then hold fast
like birch in snow
never letting go
Snowy Woods
it is my thoughts that wander
into the snowy woods
finding their path towards peace
Sweet Dreams
winter wonder candy land
whipped cream snow and sugar plums
Beneath and Between
beneath the snow’s umbrella of white
between the porch and our dear crabapple tree
winter’s divine vista shines
Not Forgotten
a glimpse of light
on the darkest day
the sun has not forgotten us
The Way
through the diamond woods
on the stardust path
is the way
to snow queen’s palace
Each One
every flake and crystal
contributes to
the glittering
Recognition
how splendid is the color brown
when it is all the color to be found
Winter Window
outside my window
windswept winter
begins her story
Distinction
indifferent
to all shades of grey
the black and white
of early snow
Sentry
the bluebird box
stands sentry
over winter’s weathering
of the field
Midst
December rain erased the snow
leaving palisades in the misty midst of grey
Winter’s White Dress
it comes and comes and covers all
the ground, the trees and all of fall
Embellished
berries bright
in drifts of white
winter adorns us
Hushed
quietest of sounds
autumn being sshh’d
first snow filling the woods
Whisper
a whisper of winter
a dusting of snow
so long autumn
hello cold
Moosilauke
our gentle giant
the first to wear snow
shows us how the season will go
Other Snow
fragile and fleeting
blossoms like snow
Repast
berry sparkle
morning mist
vision’s feast
Totem Tree
envoy of the gods
hawk’s perch
seat of souls
Blessings
so many blessings grace us
the wind, the seed
a place to be
Three Berry Cottage
at the meadow’s edge
where the woods begin
three berry cottage awaits
her chance to comfort and contain
Field Psalm
dried grass’
wind song
autumn’s hymn
One To Another
mountain, farm and valley
hold the sacred trust
of belonging
