The Two Of Us

you in the tree
me in the house
both navigating winter

Monochrome

on certain days
not even the light
offers light

The Challenge

winter drew
a line in the woods
and dared spring to cross

February Narcissus

winter gazed
upon her own reflection
in the river

Ship Masts In The Meadow

resource to
man and beast
benevolent benefactors: trees

Pastimes

the bench
and bird feeder
play winter’s waiting game

No Two The Same

the magic symmetry
of each individual design
seen by the naked eye

Long Winter Days

when seemingly
nothing is happening
spring’s new world is gestating

This Is The Wall

that doesn’t separate us
but rather
it’s presence connects us

Three Of Them

despite cold
and lack of mud
here is happiness

Open Arms

reaching out
the unconditional embrace
of every season

Somnolent Snow

the many places
and ways
snow finds repose

Morning Paradox

dawn’s delicacy
belies
the bitter cold

We Gather Near The Hearth As

tiny flakes
of a big snow
fall on our little house

Forthright

little bird
staring down
the weather

Window Panes In The Woods

trunks and branches
from the view
of outside outside

Peace Outside The Circle

without containment
the symbol’s power
expands

In The Time Of Gloaming

beneath the hues
of yellow, pink, lavender, blue
a tree dreams of green

That Branch Of Mathematics

winter is
a mathematician
of sacred geometry

Flowers From A Friend

I submerge into
the sweetness and solace
of scent and colors
