Under the Watch of the Stars They Grew




under the watch of the stars they grew


presented by the light of the sun

 
gracing branches like fairy wings



ice crystals 
one of my loves

Spirit of Winter



 it was a dark and cloudy day

wind stirred the lake to dance


snow piled high upon the banks



reflected upon calmer waters
the sky


a place to still one's heart


one's breath


to stroll amongst the details 


and wrap winter's spirit around one's self

So Much Snow!


the sun came out to light our world
hurray hurray


home sweet home in nearly two feet of snow
this week 
this week

(nearly wore me out plowing and shoveling
the good kind of being worn out that is followed by a hot bath and good sleep)


rivers are frozen 
held in shadows and light


snow capped posts falling to the side


something about looking down a river
that inspires the imagination to jump to life
a yearning to wander


and once in a while
sunset thrills us
