Heart of Trillium

 

Sweet face of Spring

this fairy hidden

amidst petals

her tiny smile

illuminates

our

hope

for

new beginnings

Day 9

Anticipation

She walks in the wood

and twigs snap

small critters scurry

her dog gives chase

the morning is sultry

mist on the lake

a pair of loons

skimming the surface

no sun

no wind

temperature rising

anticipation too

Settled In

The winter has settled in

snow crunches underfoot

ice shatters to shards

mist rises from the lake

as if something warm

lie beneath

The longest night has passed

but still it feels

unending

COLD

Haibun Reposted from Ellecees Eye

It’s so cold outside. My fingers are tingling even with woolen gloves on. In spite of this I want to be here, walking. My dog rushes ahead of me sniffing at every track in the snow. Hoping for prey. What would she do if she caught something, I wonder. The trees are talking to me, groaning and snapping even though there is little wind. Perhaps it’s from the frost. The snow is soft and billows up around my feet like a heavy mist. The dog pushes her nose through a drift for the thrill of it. I hold my camera steady and take a picture as the dog waits for me on the next hill.

I do this everyday.

It’s a long way home

The snow covers our tracks now

The dog watches me

COLD

These days are cold

yet no frost forms

on my windows

My view is clear and

what I see

are memories.

Rooftops covered

with snow,

wisps of smoke from

chimney tops,

a frozen fiord,

a full moon.

Riding

(from Ellecee's Eye)

Riding

I ride you
and feel the wind
in my hair
my thighs tight against
your flank
holding, holding
Sensing the lay of the land
together
moving in unison
across the wide plain
to the river where
the water is cool on our bodies
as we cross and rise on
the other side
refreshed
sated

Crystals on the lake

Nature's way of giving gifts

As winter returns
