Winter Songs

at this moment:
very little
is being sung. . .

and the far marsh,
now revealing the
reflection of 10,000
candles slicing lake
shore, some redpinks
glisten rippling rip-
plings and the still
silence echoes moon,
starshines swirling,
winter's edge, sedge
and cattail, it soon
will ice reflections

singing winter songs

    You caught the gleam of that beautiful creature, that moment of poetic revelation, just by its slippery tail. You didn't frighten it. You called it to you, held it fleetingly in your hand...its heart quivered on your palm, it as entranced as you, nervously appreciative, but warm, aglow. And it revealed its wonder to you as a couple of images, and made its way away again, until the next time. I love and envy that.

    winter songs
    so silently precious
    like whales song
    or elephant calls
    but not quite...
    no not quite
    like elephant calls
    brighter

    mourning lost
    for death's come and gone
    so
    maybe they're tenacious things
    like the grass that stays green in the shade
    or the last green leaf
    refusing to turn away
    the sable mink rolling
    spring's bluebell tolling
    calling the daffodils
    to come out and play
































    (my daffodils came out yesterday... just the shoots but... shoot... ain't winter grand?)
    It's all yellow.
