maiden – Leaf And Twig

The Forest Made A Snow Maiden

she exalts us
with her one raised limb
as we walk by

a red lipped maiden
leaving kisses
on the sundial

the fairest
of them
all

amaryllis, amaryllis
scarlet maiden
stakes her claim

grounded
in the power of the earth
she hears and heeds
the spirit winds’
whispers of wisdom

tiny deadly maiden
outstretched arms
await her prey

scilla siberica
blue maiden of early spring
joy is the color you sing
