did the first
snowflake know
it was bridging the gap
That Space Between
For Those Who Walked Ahead
we follow your path
and thank you
for making our journey easier
Spot Of Green
in the pale landscape
winter elevates
moss and lichen
A Ripple Of Vision
seeing through
this borrowed view
an echo of sight
Gathering
individuals collecting
protecting
the delicate necessity
Slow Falling
we were inside
the snow globe
looking out
The Wooded Kingdom’s Castle
constructed by decay
each spire a testament
to the sovereignty of being
Held
in the tall woods
I am small
right sized in nature’s palm
Uprightness
in the forest of knowing
amidst the flurries and hurry
trees ~ standing ground
Rest
each flake
found its place
and now all are one
Here
stand in the woods
with the quiet and the white
you are a part of the beauty and the peace
All Sorts And Conditions
in snow and ice
a branch both nude and barked
leaves sheltered and exposed
Helping Each Other
a fall avoided
caught by
a bystander
Sugared Balsam
the night delivered
a fresh shimmer
to greet the morning
An Arch Of Trees
we recognize this threshold
and step through
to tranquility
Below The Beaver Dam
even the stillness
stops
to catch up to itself
Undaunted
uprooted
but still upright
this is resolve
Whispering Snow
the forest
shares her secrets
with the whispering of snow
Listen With Your Whole Body
the air itself
will tell you
what lies ahead
Winter Zen
here in this place
breath rests
peace made manifest
Etching In White
a landscape
drawn in cold
every intricacy captured
Faith Accumulates
by the river side
I place my prayers
to drift like snow
Outdoor Play
the snow
like children
climbing trees
Steps
quiet is the courage
that puts one foot
in front of the other
A Puzzel Of Snow
each piece
fit into place
bordering branch and air
Branch With Berries
holding snow
like a breath
to be exhaled
Through The Trees
dawn opens
a window
to the new day
Deer’s Graffiti
one delicate hoof
writes a message
of love
Juxtaposed
dark and sparkle
winter’s cold fidelity
to beauty
With What Is At Hand
old Queen Anne
her winter bloom
made of snow
