winter blossoms
in the seven directions
showing us the way

 

 

old neighborhood oak
purple winter sky dreaming
of a new day

 

Each moment
A perfect snowflake
Melting

 

Leaning in,
listening to the snow
fall

Under heavy clouds
Snowfall spins its magic
In the melting night

Edge of two worlds
Feather-light glances before
Winging away

 

 

yellow streamers
breaking through the colossal
debris of winter

 

 Rooted strong and deep
Leaning into boundless sky
Glad for winter light

Storm after storm

the plucky spider rebuilds

hammock and home

 

 

In the midst
of the old, making ready
for the new
