reverence

Holiness Seen

tiny white outline
halo
on hallowed leaf

pine boughs bow
in reverence
to snow and cold

moment of stillness
gratitude
for this day

tattered feather
more precious now
for all it has given

now that I’ve found you
every trail leads
to your wise counsel

raised in exalation
green arms
praise the sun

beneath crowns of white
hydrangeas bow their heads
in reverence to winter

Alone in the fields
contemplation holds my hand.
Reverence is my path.
