bright green moss
under snow
yes hope springs eternal
Evidence
Fruit And Nuts
a feast
is set
for feathered friends
Torchlight
holding the sun
lighting the way
through mid-winter
Quiet
snow falling
and trees breathing
the only sounds
Wonder
the world is frozen
and yet
everything’s in motion
Birch Family
together enduring
the winter wind’s pruning
cleaved unto each other
Gossamer Layers
the day
twirled in
like a tutu lifting
The Teeth Of Winter
below zero
the air bites
and ice chews granite
Afternoon
winter
receiving and reflecting
the glorious sun
Dandelion Ice
old man winter puffs
and ice flies
like dandelion fluff
You
everyone’s looking around
I’m looking
right at you
Flames Of The Night Sky
despite
the arctic cold
the sky is ablaze
Reverence
bowed to winter
seeing past reflection
into the future
Sparkler
deep green
in the fresh snow
casting sparks of life
Visions
miniature world
on the window pane
cold grows a forest
Hope Held
the woods do
dream in snow
heaping hope on branches
When The Wind Blows
all the voices
of the leaves
rise in winter’s hymn
Splendor
a day’s ending
that transcends
all endings
A Scattering
the lovely wind
left
kisses behind
The Space That Absence Holds
it is
the place
where love remains
Two Tracks
hooves on ice
paws in snow
the followed and the follower
Through The Woods
you will find
their snowy roof
and Christmas pine
Bejeweled
the ice storm
adorns and preserves
all the delicate details
A Double Geography
the storm drew
a mountain range
on the palisades
The Garden Fence
in the white and gray landscape
we fasten our green hopes
to the rails
Captured Moment
falling
and then
suspended in time
Tucked Away
in the stillness
and the quiet
we begin again
Rest
the design
of dormancy
is renewal of energy
Once And Again
the river delivers
a splash
of blue sky
At Winter’s Door
wood elves
hang their hats
on the birch
