February 15, 2016: Thaw

Color awakens

parting the clouds

to bask 

in Lady’s Sun’s 

brilliance

My heart climbs

bare branches

to reach for sun

and blue sky

Blue clouds
chase across
snow heavy
skies
that reflect
warmer light
from approaching
sunset

In the air

the liquid music of

the thaw

sung by water

breeze and bird

                       

February 13, 2016: Flowers

I wait

three hours

sleepless

for dawn’s 

drowsy 

flower

to bloom

Fallen hydrangea:

how far have you traveled

and how could

your apparent fragility

withstand relentless

winter?

February 12, 2019: Imagining spring

My frozen heart

yearns

for green fields

and birdsong

Not a ceiling

a cover or a barrier:

limitless, boundless

blue into

infinity

I venture
into the teeth
of a bitter wind
in search
of proof
the river lives
beneath
the ice

Lady Sun

parts the clouds

to coyly wink

at twilight

February 10, 2016

Beams
break through
calving
clouds
with bright
fissures
opening
into an ocean
of light

Not merely

the hope of green

but certainty

Well worn path

cobbled

with footprints

Yesterday's Image

March 14, 2014, day 62

Blue sky

cupped

in the clouds'

praying hands
