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

Winter Rocks and Ice

 tiny islands

floating

catching my eyes

my heart

 ice cloaking

dripping

bubbling

 formations exquisite

tiny islands

floating

Rocks and Ice

cold 

winter days and nights

creating beautiful sights for our delight

icy shores to explore

nature's gems 

galore

floating

mini icebergs

poetry beneath the surface
