is the lone tree lonely
or proud to be
the sentry…
This Side Of The Woods
Fruit And Nuts
a feast
is set
for feathered friends
Quiet
snow falling
and trees breathing
the only sounds
Birch Family
together enduring
the winter wind’s pruning
cleaved unto each other
Gossamer Layers
the day
twirled in
like a tutu lifting
Afternoon
winter
receiving and reflecting
the glorious sun
You
everyone’s looking around
I’m looking
right at you
Flames Of The Night Sky
despite
the arctic cold
the sky is ablaze
Sparkler
deep green
in the fresh snow
casting sparks of life
Striped Sky With Tree Filagree
the world
and all her beauties
awaiting our discovery
Visions
miniature world
on the window pane
cold grows a forest
When The Wind Blows
all the voices
of the leaves
rise in winter’s hymn
Splendor
a day’s ending
that transcends
all endings
The Space That Absence Holds
it is
the place
where love remains
Through The Woods
you will find
their snowy roof
and Christmas pine
A Double Geography
the storm drew
a mountain range
on the palisades
Tucked Away
in the stillness
and the quiet
we begin again
Once And Again
the river delivers
a splash
of blue sky
At Winter’s Door
wood elves
hang their hats
on the birch
Winter Travels
the current
not yet submerged
cold holds on
taking the ride
Every Voice Raised
the chickadees
are caroling
the echos of rejoicing
The Woods Contented
their satisfaction of being
is to be filled
with newness
En Mass
they flew
into the sunset
shepherding light
In December
the landscape slumbers
glittering leaves
the froth of dreams
Falling, Falling, Falling
each flake
slowly wandering
through the air
Cin Cin
goldenrod raises
her goblet of snow
a toast to sunrise
Depth Of Light
sunshine
after the big snow
the world made new
Lacemaking
the wind wove
threads of cold
through the woods
We Will Follow The Star To Christmas
and on the way
we will gather
peace and hope
Winter’s First Appearance
the falling snow
like tinsel
on the evergreen
