as I approach
the mist recedes
slow introduction to clarity
So Thin The Veil
this grove of birch
a clutch of ghosts
the other realm is near
Black Rock
big slice of
flourless chocolate cake
a forest sized serving
Another New Snow
the white on white
of birch in snow
a calming quietude
Morning Moon
faint
like a dream
upon waking
Chickadee
a passerine
pausing
while passing by
The Truth Of Scale
the proportion between
bird box and forest trees
makes me right sized
Tall Tales Told
I stood with the trees
listening to them
share their stories
Solitude
I gave
my heart to nature
now I am never alone
Time Tags Light
shadows chase
late afternoon
through the woods
Swoop
into flight
the darting and diving
of feathered days
Mystery Of Snow
cloaked in cold
insulated by the thing
from the thing
The Wind
blurring
everything’s edges
abstracting where we are
Falling
slow snowflakes
teasing
gravity’s demand
Wild Abandon
scarlet vixen in the woods
kisses scattered
across the landscape
Guidepost
your presence
lets me know
I am home
At The Border
on the edge of the storm
we are not quite yet
consumed by the commotion
Wonderland Returns
new snow
the world made fresh again
the landscape cheers
Three Birch
like wise men
they stood vigil
over life’s miracle
Morning Light
the sun’s warming glow
breaks through darkness
and into the cold of woods
The Dream After Waking
dawn reveals
the frosted woods
a lingering sugerplum dream
The Old Birch Disrobed
time
takes her
seasons dress her
Green Centurions
regiment of pines
establishing the frontline
in the waning autumn light
The Leaves’ Lullaby
a song
made of silence
in the falling hush
The Colors Whisper Now
and each
falling leaf
opens a new view
The Princess Tree
voluminous pink
in every shade and hue
adorned her
Feeling Time Pass By In The Breeze
the gilded woods
a golden day
if only it could stay
Attending Service
worship
in the woods
beauty is the pew
Color Burns In The Rain
maple flames
birch trails
white smoke
Watercolored World
the edges
between everything
dissolving
