the night slips away
and day is claimed
with sunlight and sparkle
Blue Morning
Juxtaposed
dark and sparkle
winter’s cold fidelity
to beauty
Costume Jewelry
ice makes diamonds
when snow becomes raindrops
the sparkle is of rhinestones
Sparkle
morning light
on last night’s
weightless accumulation
Morning Reveals
remnants
of a moonlight stroll
hoof prints amidst sparkle
Glinting In The Winter Sun
fresh powder
piles up
everything a-sparkle
Sparkle
in the right light
from even the worn and humble
beauty emanates
Not One Alone
every berry
provided with
companionship
Sparkle
milkweed’s moment
in the sun
glittering cold
Wonderment
sunlight sparkles on water
snowflakes descend to greet it
all kinds and conditions of magic
Here and Now
awakened by
and surrendered to
the day’s beauty
Blue Light and Dark
divine
blue sky
everything asparkle
Sunday Afternoon
time is
best measured in
moments not minutes
Released
in the echo
of his cry
every tear is dried
Embossed
diamondized by dew
pink with sparkle
morning’s kiss
And
crystals and petals
drift and bloom
shimmer and flower
Solitude
morning’s memory
sparkling steps
of a midnight stroll
Largess
the long shadow
of a small leaf
such is the way
of kindness
Snow Cones
Golden leaves filled with sparkle
a winter delicacy of the woodland fairies.
Sugared Maple
The frozen world
creates the leaf’s
next incarnation of beauty
Overlooking
The water glitters and shouts as it rushes on
carrying memories of perfection from the freshness of youth.
Age tempers today’s perfection with the acceptance of impermanence
making the glitter more brilliant and the shouting more joyful.
Sugared Maple
When fall departed it took its brilliant colors with it.
The fallen leaf bejeweled by winter sparkles on.
