Silently unfurling
Sunshine and warmth for breath
Celebrating the dormant cold
Quietly and alone
Like me as snowflakes and
Mercury tumble down around.

When hardwoods yellow
people who care celebrate
softwoods yellowing concern

Winter Woods
_____________________________________
They’re wondering about the shine out there
Mourning the fall on this frosty morning
Bare gray branches are more than they can bear
Warning us winter came without warning
*
No other season questions what you know
Wait while dormant branches support snow’s weight
So strong as below acorns gray squirrels sow
Ate one, shared one, then buried the next eight
*
I know winter’s magic astounds the eye
Piece of the woods covered in snow brings peace
Sky blue birds migrate past in the blue sky
Geese in their way in the v-shape of geese
*
Right now’s so stunning makes me want to write
Site’s so lovely it really is a site
