Winter Morning

within the breath of winters frigid air
ice crystals grew among the lichens hairs

spruce needles adorned 

in icy charm

as the morning sun lit up the clouds

they circled like a crown at the tips of forest trees

bits of snow

sat like tiny icebergs

casting long shadows 

domes of snow

showing the beauty

 the grace of lines

 

looking up from the tiny world

a

grand view

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

Frostly Morning

woke to 18F

morning light soft and bright

snow berries and leaves dressed in crystalline ice

forest strawberries still green

others cloaked in pinks salmon and dusty rose

autumns colors beauty be

was on my way to yoga.....

never made it there

for beauty everywhere

stopped me in my tracks

adore

is a light word

for the feelings i have in the midst of ice crystals

and their mystical light

Frosty Morning ~

I woke up
it was a frosty morning
and the first thing that i saw
was ice dressed in rainbows
my heart began to thaw
I thought I was heading to yoga
but smitten my path did change
kneeling to enjoy a sparkling ballet
morning light
and
golden grass
did reign

Form

Love in the form of life

Life in the form of breath


Dance in the form of wind

Laugh in the form of a fawns prance

Flight in the form of a hawk

Growth in the form of crystals


Beauty in the form of a flower


Wisdom in the form of a tree

Patience in the form of a rock


Wildness in the form of wolverine

Serenity in the form of the rising sun


Bliss in the setting one


Drink in the form of a raindrop


Food in the form of a kiss

You in the form of me

Me in the form of you

All life in a single snowflake

then melting

to be born again

First Day of a New Year ~ 2009

As we enter a new year I offer heart felt wishes that life on our planet finds peace in the beauty of simple things
perhaps in the morning light:

Trusting that this sort of beauty enhances our ability to be kind, wise, generous of heart and considerate of all life:

There is something about light that can inspire inner intimacy
once this is experienced
affinity with the world is possible

May 2009 bring many blessings to our world~
