morning sky
blooms
in pink and blue
The Blossom
Winter Travels
the current
not yet submerged
cold holds on
taking the ride
Most Precious Gift
the cheer
of being
near each other
In The Morning
stars
from the holy night
linger
Every Voice Raised
the chickadees
are caroling
the echos of rejoicing
So Many Seeds
soft like fur
a coat
ruffling in the wind
The Woods Contented
their satisfaction of being
is to be filled
with newness
En Mass
they flew
into the sunset
shepherding light
The Spark Of Tiny Berries
a glee of color
evidence
of nature’s joy
In December
the landscape slumbers
glittering leaves
the froth of dreams
Layered Realms
fall submerged
beneath ice
and shadows
With Age
acceptance
built endurance
elegance in this new stage
A Cairn’s Mountain View
the memories
of memorials
holding human history
Hot In Cold
chili peppers
in the snow
intensifying their heat
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
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
Prelude To Snow
there comes
a quiet
from deep within
A Sort Of Snow Flower
seed wings
as snow flakes
goldenrod in a flurry
Brittle Suppleness
in every contradiction
a thread
of continuity
Briefly
before
the season of snow
the season of shadows
Time’s Allotment
old goldenrod and evergreens
holding the inbetween
of seasons
Winter Illustration
cold highlights
the edge
of everything
Porthole
an autumn rain
becomes winter ice
window to the seasons passage
Dressing For The Season
marigold’s
winter coat
is made of cold
Heavy Rain Finds Her Wings
when the slush
begins to float
autumn’s door is closing
Breath
snow
departing as vapor
old man winter’s last sigh
An Icon In The Woods
big shouldered
a granite monument
to strength and endurance
