the morning
shrouded
in mystical cold
The Weight Of Lightness
a heavy snow
with the lightest of flakes
thus descends a shroud of cold
River Birch In Snowfall
the quieting white
shrouds
December’s last days
More than Rain, Lighter than Snow
shrouded grey December day
clouds carry today’s hope
Dark Sky
dormancy depends
on darkness gathering round
the necessary shroud
sheltering inchoate spring
Shroud
iris is cloaked
in the spider’s shroud
to be seen again
on their spring resurrection
Certainty
Wearing a shroud of winter
the rock sculpture endures
certain of Spring’s dominion.
Magic in the Mist
Beneath the shroud of early morning mist
all creatures and growing things pause
and give thanks for the coming day.
