quietest of sounds
autumn being sshh’d
first snow filling the woods
Three Berry Cottage
at the meadow’s edge
where the woods begin
three berry cottage awaits
her chance to comfort and contain
Convocation
a murder in the birch
the only victim time
Enchantment
the pink forest
beckons
magic is afoot
Red Dress
The maple
in her red dress
turns heads
Away
far far away
perched near the sky
a pasture and house
watch the world go by
Abode
an open heart
the space to grow in
Midwife
forest maiden
mother’s helper
harbinger of spring
With The Sky At My Feet
in the cool of the woods
at the edge of the clearing
quiet brings clarity of thought
Mixed Media
in the gallery
of the great outdoors
flowering trees
paint the woods
Greening
trees sigh green
during these
delicate dainty days
Incarnation
the tree’s shadow
shingles’ memory
of a past life
Sovereign’s Seat
in the forest
there is a throne of stones
with moss upholstery
Wishbone
Trees wish for rain and sun
a gentle wind, the song of birds
room to breathe and time to grow
Picket
in need of a patch of blue
the blue picket fence will do
April Morn
her snow blanket removed
the naked earth awakens
renewed, refreshed and ripe
Singing
robin arrives
singing spring’s song
Inspiration
amidst bare branches
last year’s crabapples
inspiration for spring blooms
The Boys
together
they navigate
winter’s slow ending
Tributary
a white path
wanders the woods
the creek in winter
Behind the Barn
the unexpectedly blue sky
the snow quilted field
the quiet woods
serenity
Descending
snowflakes so small
they are felt more than seen
sneaky snow accumulates
Glittered
summoned by
fairies and sprites
ice and snow
enchant the woods
Snug
a little bird house
in the great big woods
at peace in place
Hold to Thee
snow holds to the leaf
the leaf holds to the branch
the branch holds to the tree
as spirit holds to thee
Tiny Snowy Pine
in winter’s white silence
it spoke of peace and love
Weaving
branches and weeds
a tapestry
woven on the loom of time
Diamond Woods
sunlight on frost
the woods bejeweled
and glittering
Thanksgiving Woods
the harmony of everything
resounds in the woods
on thanksgiving and all days
Dinosaur Birch
resting in the woods
massive muscular legs
roots her to the earth
