morse code of winter
dots and dash of ice
arctic opus written in cold
Blanketed
snow legislates
the quiet
of the woods
To End Is To Begin
fresh light
fell on New Year’s Day
shadows came and had their say
River Birch In Snowfall
the quieting white
shrouds
December’s last days
Picnic
the table’s cloth
is made of snow
and set with sun
Blue Light and Dark
divine
blue sky
everything asparkle
Abridged
time crosses slowly
December’s snowy bridge
sojourn to the far side of remembering
Ma Donna
Madonna appeared
in a cairn of stones
offering prayer and blessing
Snowed Inn
no reservations needed
come on in and roost
beneath the snowy roof
To Thine Own Self
each inclined
toward truth in self
such freedoms in the field
Snow Bird
on oak
leafed wings
snow bird flew
Outlier
snow balanced on limbs
daring the wind
to draw new silhouettes
Constellation
starry night
upon the ground
astronomy on earth
Winter’s Nest
filled with snow
a cozy cold
winter’s nest
Finery
winter etches
all the fine edges
into landscape and memory
Snow Queen
her winter crown
rendered from
diamond light
The Orchard’s Loom
a tapestry
the apple tree
hung upon the sky
Slow Flakes
December storm
the world
snowglobe-ed
Hush
quiet falling
silence
on the ground
Tentative
first snow
a little shy
to be dropping by
The Queen’s Snow
flurry
of fluttering lace
in the quiet white light
April Snow
night’s white blanket
tucked in all the green
the garden bed is cozy cold
Behold
the bravery
of the April flower
a beauty’s brevity
Scattered
positions
like conditions
remain ever changing
Touch
night’s cold breath
caresses the branches
her touch released by the sun
Yet
a memory of last summer’s sun
the winter field not yet touched
by the greens of spring
Made
highlights
of light snow
March’s art nouveau
Remains
felled for the path
their stature remains
monument to growth and change
Cattail Ice
this mercurial winter
zigs and zags
playing tag with spring
Opening
seat of knowledge
where the rock split
Buddha sits
