transported by the
chilling light  . . .  indigo trees
and lavender snow

 

between the lines
a mid-winter message of
snow and sunlight

‘

Floating above
snowy boughs, the lonely notes
of a forest thrush

 

 

 

 

softness
carving peace
into the landscape

 

moss softening
autumn steps
into December

 

Filling the corners

Of untouched blue, surges of

Song and wingbeats

Finley National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon

 

gnarled limbs
losing leaves like memories
longing for the moon

undaunted, turning
with the seasons — holding space
and spinning light

The weight of life
Two crows gossiping above
Stillness of a leaf

Bridging gaps between
lost and found, a scattering
of forest moons
