new leaves
and tender perennials
shiver beneath a blanket of snow
Another New Snow
the white on white
of birch in snow
a calming quietude
Providence
wind fallen tree
lands inches from
the well pump
The Weight Of Lightness
a heavy snow
with the lightest of flakes
thus descends a shroud of cold
Winter Work
weary
old man winter
rests upon the bench
Solitude
I gave
my heart to nature
now I am never alone
Storm Window
mountains of snow
gather on each pane
showing us this storm’s terrain
Return
this gathering gray
will return to us
snow white
To Thrive In All Circumstance
weather the storm
and make it
a flower
Falling
slow snowflakes
teasing
gravity’s demand
At The Border
on the edge of the storm
we are not quite yet
consumed by the commotion
With Childlike Wonder
the landscape expressed
the glittering shimmering
excitement of Christmas
They Dwell Together
length of birch
layers of brick
swirling of snow
Dangerous Beauty
beside barbed wire
still life
inside a storm
Joy And Sorrow
the dark and light
that passes through
our blue days
Breaking Out Of Darkness
a shaft of light settleson the blue diamond delphiniumsaved from the pounding rain
Thunderstorm
gathering
blue into black
in she moves
In The Shadow Of
big pine
mountain’s watchtower
storm guide
Ice storm
in the shine
of the woods
winter days slipping by
Signal Spot
light
without light
lantern in the woods
Shelter In The Storm
small space
large enough
for refuge
Lightness
slowly falling light
easing us
out of the dark
Steadfast In Tribulation
buffeted
by the elements
leaves hold to branches
Storm Upon Snow
always something different
in the same view
vision’s infinity
Within
snow storm
sound and color
silenced
Hope Surrounds Us
the snow
fell like stars
white blanket of wishes
Beauty Made
every new snow
another masterpiece
of wonder
Winter’s Pattern
covered branches
the forest’s
cable knit sweater
Respect
snow upon snow
winter teaching
us her name
Chosen
snow blown
in all directions
yet one trunk untouched
