January's Snowy Imprints

The fresh fallen snow brightens
up the dark grey vista of morning
heavy branches bow in quietness

transformation on a January day
from the bitter cold bareness
to winters warm robe of white

beyond the trees a small band of deer
wandering across the pristine landscape
precision and grace in their movement

leaving tracks connected in the journey
nibbling on emerald green arborvitaes
the only sound is the whisper of the wind

I watch in stillness from the warmth inside
dreaming of making my own imprints
on that wondrous canvas of white

putting on my coat, hat, gloves and boots
venturing outside I lay under blue sky
and make snow angels just for today….

Frozen Piece of Time

into winter’s wonderland we are drawn
there is beauty in the new dawn

poetry scattered in morning frost
internal/external rhymes are lost

barren trees blanketed with ice
a crow searches for field mice

snowy owl swoops across the land
mystical sky low-laying clouds expand

author's note:  I was driving through the mountains
and near the peak the trees were covered with ice

December Magic

December Snow

Fresh snow
blankets the barren
 landscape, creating a path
to unknown wanderings
taking one step at a time

Cardinal

My heart heavy
as the fresh fallen snow
calling card of the season
red cardinal brightens the
mood of the day

Geese

Wild geese enjoying
the day, they worry not
about the chill in the air
basking in the noon sunlight
reflective in the moment

In A Flurry of Snow

Winter Wonderland

In a flurry of snow

my heart needs to know

can you see beyond here

come whisper in my ear

In a flurry of snow

can you see the moon's glow

come listen to the birdsong

allow your spirit to sing along

In a flurry of snow

there's a place my soul longs to go

where Pegasus soars on white wings

believing in the beauty that dreams bring

In a flurry of snow

the northern winter winds blow

leaving my imprints in the journey

a pathway opens for you and me

This Snow Needs to Go

clouds
pregnant gray
birthing cold snowflakes
blanketing signs of spring life

snow fall dreaming of warmer
days. I gave the Cinquain a new twist.

The Silence of Snow

I awoke to the silence of a snow covered vista. Snowflakes dancing to a winter song.  My heart picks up a beat in the cold morning air.  I drift away to thoughts of you. Wishing to melt this distance between you and I.  A snowflake never falls in the wrong place,  each has its own journey and pace.  I dream of a spring thaw in hopes we will find the road of togetherness.

winter blankets my vision

So Much More Than You Can See

artist unknown

dreaming beneath soft falling snow
in early dawn red rooster crows
on wide wings mysteries unfurl
awakening to a shifting world

creating angels in fields of white
synchronicity with the hawk's flight
watching snowflakes flutter & swirl
awakening to a shifting world

behold a vision of nature's steeples
chanting songs of hope for all people
embracing light, dreams dew-pearled
awakening to a shifting world

Breath of Winter Snow

pinterest.com

Truedessa and Captain Pat sailing the seas

still searching for those hidden treasures

suddenly the winds shift a northerly breeze

lost in their own world of magical pleasures

A storm brewing, waves bobble up and down

dark skies,  panic seizes Truedessa's heartbeat

spotted cat paces, Captain Pat hides a frown

fear not, we'll ride it out come rain, hail or sleet

Icy pebbles descend from heavy dark clouds

Truedessa pulls her cloak tighter,  what now?

gale force winds shake  the ships shrouds

through rough waters,  Captain Pat plows

From the heavens above tears of white snow

Truedessa, feels deep pain, someone is crying

in the silence, a man of snow begins to grow

long flowing beard, a wizard the ship is flying

Sprouting wings the vessel takes to the sky

Truedessa and Captain Pat are frozen in time

cat tosses snowballs hitting them in the eye

jolting them, they begin to chant rhymes

Suddenly, from afar a glowing blue light

Chione, appears the goddess of snow

You have been summons to help this night

through her breath the cold winds blow

We must defend the gate of mysteries

evil  forces have infiltrated the realm

protecting our secrets  and golden history

sailing across the sky, captain at the helm

Up ahead a dark sorcerer,  casting a spell

Truedessa's reaches for her crystal charm

Capt'n Pat loads the cannon, you're going to hell

white bearded wizard, waving his long arms

Fireballs rumble through the cannon walls

lightning bolts slash through the thick air

Chione cries, the cat makes giant snowballs

throwing them around  with theatrical flare

Two light hearted fools fight side by side

using a bow they shoot poisonous arrows

Captain Pat aims for the sorcerer's eye

Truedessa sings the song of the sparrows 

Captain hits his target head on smashing his orb

shrills of agony fill the chambers of his evil heart

disintegrating, the after shock he could not absorb

cheers of joy, Chione snow tears slowly depart 

A glorious marigold sun breaks the night

their ship floats down to calm waters below

the goddess of snow disappears in the light

where the snow wizard went, no one knows

Captain Pat and Truedessa watch the sunrise

continuing on their voyage to find Bora bay

sailing their ship under a blue rose tinted sky

pushing through each day come what may

tucking in their pocket a crystal snowflake

a rainbow forms, a great day to be awake
