This Is How Winter Begins

a snowfall
so fine
to be almost invisible

Milkweed Snow

the snow
before the snow
beginnings in endings

Morning At The Marsh

golden light
the world pristine
a new beginning

Tiny Are All Beginnings

at the crest
of a moss mountain
a pine begins

To End Is To Begin

fresh light
fell on New Year’s Day
shadows came and had their say

The Day Rose Softly

the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks

Heading into Spring

ride the rails
out of winter’s shadows
into light and the beginnings of green

Faith Confirmed

the promise
always kept
spring’s return

And So

light and colors
reached us through the fog
and so the new year dawned

What Begins At The End

a decomposing stump
the palette
for green construction

Suggestion

wild geranium
suggests to the trees
the new season of colors has begun

Beneath The Palisades

barn catches
the morning sun
another beginning begun

Each Moment’s Bloom

so sweet the day
the air brand new
each moment blooms before me

Day Break

banishing another night
day burns bright

Voiced

the center speaks
to all the beginnings to be
released when the bloom decays

Faith

the beginnings of new leaves
answer the question of faith

Morning’s Color

heralds hope.
