winter bejeweled bench
the snow queen’s
throne prepared
Moving Stillness
the motion
of the frozen
woods
Field Music
quartet
of snow
early winter sung
The Sweetened World
everything
generously frosted
in white delight
Sleep Tight
first big snow
lullaby
for bears
April Snow
testing patience
and tender buds
winter lingers
The Spirit’s Residence
woods
between the trees
sanctuary
Winter’s Composition of Time
measurements made
in the time it takes
for a snow flake to fall
Knowing Better We Had Hoped Anyway
dashing the hope
of early spring
winter returned
The Rest of Winter
despite
our brief reprieve
winter waits in the wings
Pulse
apples and reeds
winter’s red
heartbeat
Nature’s Love Affair
wildflowers arranged themselves
for the pleasure of
the mountain’s view
Winter Formal
light and shadow
waltzing
the landscape
The Spot
the arbor
saving our place
through the long winter
The Roots of Memory
singular pine
recording the history
of the mountain
Forbearance
spring’s green
biding her time
beneath the ice
Into The Blue
mid winter
break in the sky
hope shines through
Passing Storm
the space between
dark clouds and us
is named grace
Rest
between
her windy travels
oak leaf rests on ice
Iris Wreath
a circle of life
dormancy
gives rise to rebirth
Resonance
echos of white
between
the river and birch
Destination Spring
winter rides
the pony swing
galloping towards spring
Answered
the pines
asked no questions
all was answered in being
Morning Again
it can never
be said enough
thank you
Narnia
white hooded woods
await
their queen
Magnolia Edging
picture perfect
the world
framed by winter
Ever Creating
each winter day
still more
beautiful
Cosmos of Cold
galaxy
of sparkling gold
stars gather on the window
Across The Way
such comfort
brought by neighbors
we rarely see
Saving Space
the woods
hold no mercy
only space for grace
