you will find
their snowy roof
and Christmas pine
Through The Woods
We Shared A Look
and now I know
the words
to your song
Visibility
Christmas
in the distance
the thinly visible pine
Our Close Proximity
the storm
an instruction
of togetherness
Gathered Together
our purpose
ordained by proximity
to one another
Needles and Thread
evergreen thread
stitching together
each season to the next
Signs
the pine wears sleet
like many steps of bird’s feet
leaving the sign of peace
Abridged
time crosses slowly
December’s snowy bridge
sojourn to the far side of remembering
Snowed Inn
no reservations needed
come on in and roost
beneath the snowy roof
Finery
winter etches
all the fine edges
into landscape and memory
History
the pinecone
elucidates the pine tree
on how things came to be
Winter’s Whitewash
brushstrokes hang in the air
as slow snow paints the world white
Winter’s White Dress
it comes and comes and covers all
the ground, the trees and all of fall
Thankfulness
In all her dazzling displays and subtle simplicities
nature’s ever evolving beauty nurtures
the ability to be grateful.
