along with snow
dreams keep gathering
as the birds begin to sing
eventually, eventually spring
Drifts Drift
Lift Off
it is faith
that always
proceeds flight
What Nothing Gives
healing eventually
takes place
in the empty space
not a return
a new way of being
Awaiting Spring
this fringe of cold
the beauty before
the beauty of leaves
Sigh
secretly held breath
miraculously exhaled
spaciousness arrives
Brookside
a flit of red
cardinal considering
nesting options
Wind Chime
constructed by weather
lichen and with branch clapper
chiming with ice
Fine Lines
traced in snow
the grace and reach
of a leafless tree
Trees’ Desire
in longing for spring
a blooming
of cold
Late Afternoon Flurry
oh to be home
snug in the warm
while winter winters on
Fresh Snow
a new beginning
all paths
to be made anew
The Forest Made A Snow Maiden
she exalts us
with her one raised limb
as we walk by
In The Midst Of Winter
thank goodness
for the pines and sunlight
whispering of spring
Dressed For The Season
leaves wearing
shawls of
wind knitted snowflakes
Shadow Network
crossing
and connecting
one another
Sound Effects
memories carry
the babble
of the now silent brook
In The Teeth Cracking Cold
winter kept
her claws out
refusing to let go
That Space Between
did the first
snowflake know
it was bridging the gap
Beneath The Snowy Pine
the storm
makes shelter
of itself
A Ripple Of Vision
seeing through
this borrowed view
an echo of sight
Held
in the tall woods
I am small
right sized in nature’s palm
Uprightness
in the forest of knowing
amidst the flurries and hurry
trees ~ standing ground
Here
stand in the woods
with the quiet and the white
you are a part of the beauty and the peace
A Gift Of Vast Proportions
nothing
more precious
than blue sky
Helping Each Other
a fall avoided
caught by
a bystander
An Arch Of Trees
we recognize this threshold
and step through
to tranquility
To Taste The Sky
morning began
as a raspberry orange sorbet
prepping my palette for a blueberry day
Undaunted
uprooted
but still upright
this is resolve
Whispering Snow
the forest
shares her secrets
with the whispering of snow
Winter Zen
here in this place
breath rests
peace made manifest
