Monday, the 7th

 

 

Once again we are enveloped

in great drifts of snow

the blue jays dart through the dark trees,

brilliant against the white flakes

that fall, and fall, and fall.....
endlessly.

 

 

 



Sunday's Stone

My new birthday slippers

tickle my fancy

and lighten my heart

I dream of spring and apple blossoms

whilst Winter lavishes me with

grey skies, slippery roads

and the need for a cane -

 

which makes me feel like an old woman, alas



Friday, January 4th,2013

away with the garlands,

the toy soldier

the babe and the shepherds.

the candle stubs, the twinkling lights

but the spirit lingers



January 3rd, 2013

what magic garners warmth

from puffed up feathers?

Another small stone from the Similkameen

 

 

 

 

In the midst of drifting snow

I dream of blue skies

and pussywillows

A Small Stone from the Similkameen

 

 



delicate and slow to bloom

the paperwhites extend their lovely fragrance

into january

and I am reminded why I love them so.
