resource to
man and beast
benevolent benefactors: trees
Pastimes
the bench
and bird feeder
play winter’s waiting game
No Two The Same
the magic symmetry
of each individual design
seen by the naked eye
Long Winter Days
when seemingly
nothing is happening
spring’s new world is gestating
This Is The Wall
that doesn’t separate us
but rather
it’s presence connects us
Somnolent Snow
the many places
and ways
snow finds repose
We Gather Near The Hearth As
tiny flakes
of a big snow
fall on our little house
Window Panes In The Woods
trunks and branches
from the view
of outside outside
Peace Outside The Circle
without containment
the symbol’s power
expands
That Branch Of Mathematics
winter is
a mathematician
of sacred geometry
Chasing Blue Skies
up ahead
on the trail
our scouts
On Everything
the wind
she leaves
her cold fingerprints
Winter In The Wings
sunlight makes a show
of dancing
across the marsh
After The Fall
each snowflake
makes acquaintance with
this new relationship of space
We Don’t Need Any Mittens
but yes it is
cold enough
for coats
Never Stopping
the sky
crosses the boundary
of forever
Inside The Snow Globe
a dreamy world
with snowflakes
slowly swirling
The Bronze Leaf
a meritorious achievement
of rescuing winter
from the encompassing grey and white
Quiet Plea
the birch tree
left a note
honor everything
Searching For Flowers
in winter
it is the snow
that blooms
Sure Footed
the base
of each trunk
a footstep in time
Embracing Mystery
the morning
shrouded
in mystical cold
The Center Holds
shadows play
on the river of leaves
stillness inside movement
Pink Dawn
the magic
of dreams
still within reach
Water Wanders
still on the move
the brook meanders
through the woods
Repeat Repeat
rain removes snow
then develops into sleet
so goes winter: repeat, repeat
White Shadow
wind blown snow
the storm’s
white shadow lingers
OH Tannenbaum
thirty years tall
you carry our Christmas wishes
all the way to the stars
Glinting In The Winter Sun
fresh powder
piles up
everything a-sparkle
Blue Velvet
a gift
of the cold
the sapphire sky
