Goodnight and Farewell 2016

the last sunset of the year

a beautiful farewell

I wish you all

a new year full of inspiration,

 days and nights

that feel so good to you!

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
