Winter Solstice


on the threshold of winter 
(even though it has seemed like winter for a few weeks)
when the light does come out
it is incredibly magical


I have seen this male a few times
one of his antlers is half missing, broken
I wonder what his story is

soon they will be dropping their antlers 
and begin to grow a new set


forest paths
beckon snow clad


most days are cloudy


when the sun comes out
it is time to celebrate
step out into the day
let the light pour into our eyes
and
kiss our skin


the shores of lakes
grow treasures of ice

as it has been a super cold month!


here we are on the threshold
between Autumn and Winter

the shortest day
and
longest night of the year
~


from my wee cabin
to yours
I wish you a lovely Solstice!

I Deem it Winter



Winter's Magic Wand





snow has fallen a few times
painting our world winter white


an early morning walk 
through my woods is good for one's spirit


sunlight begins to paint the day 
with light


as I drive down our road
6 inches deep in snow


a thought floats through:
this year it will not again
feel like autumn


on the threshold of a
new season
