January Flowers

in the light of dawn

this bitter bite of winter

balancing with grace

The winter air has a substantive bite. Our weather reports hinted at snow, January marching into February. Yet, even in this time of cold, of darkness, flowers grace life with reminders that spring approaches.

Sunday Morning

cold winter rain
early morning darkness
I shiver, alive

Hope in the Sunlight

calming sunlight
graceful arc through the trees
hope arrives before spring

The Motion Of Life

The Motion Of Life

sunlight reaching me
right through the clouds and the trees
the motion of life

A day where change culminated. Some joyful, some less so. Forward motion, though: progress.

upon this roadside
while walking in the sunlight
the motion of life

A Walk In The Woods

A walk in the woods

a winter walk
calmness amongst the trees
crows chattering

My Contribution to the @Baffled #HaikuChallenge

Today’s word: think.

underneath the trees
forest’s calmness helps me think
needed clarity

Forests calm me. Birdsong, the scent of firs, a gentle breeze. All bring tranquility.

Today’s FOWC: Trouble

This is my contribution for the Fandango One-Word Challenge. Today’s challenge word: trouble.

sunlight in the sky
within that deception
trouble is hidden

Morning Light

Light in the Clouds
Light in the Clouds

in the morning light
possibility singing
never surrender

Always Look Forwards

Haiku, January 14, 2021

always look forwards
freeing ourselves from the past
creating beauty
