temporary thaw reveals
winter’s gilding
of last year’s oak
186,000 Miles Each Second
in every grey day
light is always at work
moving towards a breakthough
Bittersweet
in iced sunlight
brightness sweetens
the bitter cold
River Frosted Pine
river cold
reaches up
frosting from below
Austerity
sharp edged
cold etches
light into dark
Sides
branched
right and left
both needing the stem
Buche de Noel
mushroomed and mossed
the forrest’s
confection of perfection
Holding Light
serene in uncertainty
possibilities tumble
into the unknown
Interlude
time stopped
eternity unraveled
in a visit to a petal
Readying
grasses softly sing
slumber’s sweet lullaby
of approaching dormant days
Mum
the one
whose love
never tires
Sunday Afternoon
time is
best measured in
moments not minutes
At The Elegant Edge
outside the spotlight
of sunshine and sparkle
the silhouette of elegance
Intuition
at the water’s edge
in a world of green
the sense of being seen
The Queen’s Snow
flurry
of fluttering lace
in the quiet white light
Summer Games
dappled and darting
sunbeams and birch trees
play tag in the woods
Kit
self possessed
the surety of instinct
edges out all doubt
Modesty
so much
attention from the sun
petals blush
Dreamland
intoxicating
flutter and glow
a dreamland of poppies
Found Again
walk in the woods
with sunlight and fairies
Eden has not been lost
Divinity Blooms
of one nature
is trillium’s trinity
her triptych in the woods
Hedonist
a decadence
of earthly pleasures
oh the primrose path
The Music Played
concert at the vernal pond
the flutist serenades
obligate and facultative inhabitants
Shifting
neither even or fair
the lay of the land
embraces inconsistency
Alighted
light shone
on the finished field
transforming it to gold
Collection
gathered
sunlight and stripes
abundance of gourds
Expansion
as the marsh
whispered her secrets
the water spun light into gold
October Glory
the light
was as thick as honey
its sweetness coated the day
Shucked Ruby
Day Unveiled
morning crosses the river
sunlight lapping at my feet
