shrouded grey December day
clouds carry today’s hope
Like to Like
soft as snow
feathered reeds
where winter will rest
Brief Visit
spring wears white
in polkadot leaves and petal snow
until the wilting sun asks her to go
To Come And Go
cold must rise in order to leave
every thing comes and everything goes
in nature’s design of time
Zig Zag
like the teeth of a zipper
brown and ground emerge
opening to spring
Heaven’s Reach
spring snow
stars
at my fingertips
Resurrection
the ground begins
to make itself
known again
Spring Flowering
a rose
of snow
bloomed in March
Glimmer
glinting ice
in the snowy field
a wink from spring
Sugar
if the necessary conditions
are not met
there will be no sugar on snow
The Geography of Time
snow recedes
with the mysteriousness
of spring’s birth
Entheogen
like the leaf and vine
hope and faith entwined
Source
within the somber silence
the black and white of things
darkness gestates spring
Orchard Dance
wind swirls
skirts of snow
at the feet of trees
Flight
tail feathers
dipped in sunshine
rising on the updraft of spring
Victual
big appetite for life
his hunger is for spring
Only
sunlight and shadows
traverse
the pristine field
Corsage for March
pinned upon
the white gown of March
dressing early for the spring fling
Quiet White
bright blue sky
hushed by clouds
quiet white surrounds
Willing To Be Lead
the road
leading into the wilderness
leads out as well
Hallowing
outside the church window
the prayer and devotion
of snow
Glimpse
a space in the rock wall
like a portal to the future
provides a glimpse of green
Yearning
the trunk
entwined and crossed
a wish for old forest growth
Blue
winter paints
the blue light portrait
of birch with iris
How Long the Winter
how deep the snow
how thick the ice
how far the mountains
And
crystals and petals
drift and bloom
shimmer and flower
Collective
six stones
supported by
the rest of the rock wall
Largess
the long shadow
of a small leaf
such is the way
of kindness
Bang
the frozen rock
a crack
the world is born
Off Season
the summer house
in winter entertains
snow and cold
