Double Helix

there it was
the chain of life
in the curves of the leaf

Little Flowers

in winter
even the smallest reminders
of flowers nourishes

To Be Held

even winter
seeks the comfort
of a nest

Still Life’s Motion

what holds
the snowflake to the leaf
but hope and faithful buoyancy

Singular Ambition

one acorn
waits to grow
a forest

Diamond Drops

the only tool needed
for mining beauty
was observation

This December’s Interval

rock, leaf, ice, snow
elements and artifacts
underfoot
