nothing
to do
but right now
Invoking Ancestors
from misty woods
owl calls
who whooo
May Rain
each drop
nourishes dreams
of what will be
White Capped Green Mountains
snow in retreat
to the highest elevation
as spring advances
Hardwood Sweetheart
maples blush
amongst the evergreen’s
affections
The Sky’s Gracious Goodnight
witnessing
nature’s subtle embrace
of belonging
Restoration
leaves to unfurl
songs to sing
spring’s beginnings
For Hungry Eyes
sweet
the sight
of maples budding
Resurrection
spring hopes rise
like mist lifting
from the morning mountain
At The Homestead
the farm stand
the house and the barn
a trinity of roofs
Interval
linger
on the edge
of day
Palisades
ledge edge
defined by snow
precarious perfection
In Nature’s Backyard
the silent travels
of shadows
and wildlife
Intaglio
designed
by tree lines
landscape etched by cold
Calling Forth Green
between
the snow and clouds
evergreens conjure spring
The Guardian
moon
in blue
night’s light
As Earth Sleeps Beneath Her Blanket Of Snow
blue sky
issues an invitation
to awaken
Definition
the finery
of emptiness
defined by snow
Treacherous Beauty
greeted by
the elegance of ice
in the glimmering morning
Layers
between
the trees and snow
time hibernates
It Seems
March delivers
an eternity
of snow
When Paths Diverge
some times
the deepest connection
is made alone
Tree Spirit
all seeing
knot hole eye
mouth of the missing branch
Veneration
pine boughs bow
in reverence
to snow and cold
Commanding The Trees
an insistent knocking
a tiny flash of red
glint in the woodpecker’s eye
Embellished View
lace edged eves
winter’s
window dressing
Green Calculus
forest calculates
the geometry
of fallen trees
Symmetry
as you are
so
you give
In The Shadow Of
big pine
mountain’s watchtower
storm guide
Ice storm
in the shine
of the woods
winter days slipping by
