on a dark road
i hear the new spring frogs
and think of you

together
slowly crossing the road
two geese

Huge snowfall
brings sparkling diamonds
new streams

awkwardly
skating around, falling in,
I remove the skates

round and round
circumnavigating the
unknown darkness

small and helpless
in the palm of His Hand
I rest in God

small and brown
in God's ecosystem
tiny bird

outside together
reluctant shoveling
mom and son bonding

creeping darkness
biting wind--
the ides of March

snow storm--

willows, pines and oaks transformed

in bright sunlight

soft fur
underneath a
gentle paw

voices
float over the mountain--
sing unknown songs

you pour out
the oil into my hands
some remains

i let the oil slip
through my fingers
but some remains

At Mass
sharing a hymnal--
tiny ladybug

winter
heavy snow; freezing cold
frozen flag

the sun sets
skeleton trees cry
crystal tears

evening light
illuminates a path
through the snow

poetry shared
across the shadows
music

moving
in frozen space
alone
