tiny pine
sets sights
on the sky
White Shadow
wind blown snow
the storm’s
white shadow lingers
A View Of Winter
iris pods
peer over
the wobbly fence
Drafts
winter wind
whistles through
front and back doors
Hiding In The Woods
sticky snow
camouflages
every tree as white birch
This From That
from the fallen oak
grew
a moss mountain
Waltz In The Woods
young trees
shadow dance
on the rock face
To Be Like Rain
droplets
hang on
like hope
The Four Of Them
at the edge of the clearing
a family of birch
homesteads
Elegance
the graceful
bending
of acceptance
Two Things At Once
bark like
gold leaf
a statue of a tree
Feeding The Lake
new rain rushes
to quench the thirst
of the drought-ed lake
Fountain Of Light
springing forth
in the darkening woods
each blade a splash of light
The Waterfall Late November
part frozen
part motion
perfection
The Wondrous Wind
transforming
leaves into light
before winter’s good night
Chosen
a halo
adorns the mountain
we are blessed
Winter Outerwear
the forest
wears a brocade cape
of leaves and fruit and vines
Primary, Secondary And Then
autumn brings
a tertiary rainbow
pink, yellow, orange
Autumn’s Gloaming
a radiance of colors
as the season fades
to winter
A Marriage Of Maple And Birch
distinct
and yet
together
Thoughts Of Winter
gather
at the edge of the woods
beneath the willow tree
Watercolored Woods
thinned by the rain
what remains
intensified by space
David Hockney’s Water
deep in the woods
in the small brook
his paint brush paints
Morning With Cows
space and place
for each one
to low and graze
To Dwell Inside Magnificence
an autumn
walk in the woods
is to step inside the masterpiece
Work And Play
between wood stackings
we put paddles in the water
time is our friend
Walk In The Woods
side by side
we round the bend
into the new now
Resplendent Abundance
delphinium crowns
the yarrow masses
flanked by seeding lily
Another Gift Freely Given
a generous benefactor
the forest’s shade
on a hot summer day
Wander
down by the vernal pool
where the big mushrooms
grow
