Rigged


Rigged

Are we ready
to set sail?
Will we catch the
wind just right?
Will the water be
smooth or rough?
Can we weather the
storms that move in?
How will the voyage go?
Doesn't that depend on
who's pulling the strings?

Mosaic


Mosaic

Pieces of ice form
a floating mosaic.
The shards create
a new whole
of their own design.
One that is temporary,
continually changed by
movement and time.

Full Bloom


Full Bloom

The wintry mixes will end.
The snow will melt.
Breath will be heard
but not seen.

The trees will fill with leaves.
The daffodils will open.
Spring will be in full bloom.
It can't happen too soon.

Breaking the Ice


Breaking the Ice

Don't pound away.
Work around the edges.
Look for cracks and spots
that have started to thaw.
Slide the scraper
underneath and lift.
Accept whatever
breaks off, large or small.
Clean up the pieces.
Then, start again.

The Path


The Path

When I began,
my path never
seemed well lit.
Somehow, I
stayed on it.
As I look back,
I see how
bright it was.

The Blue Comes Through


The Blue Comes Through

The clouds mask the sky.
Eclipse all brightness.
Cover the sun and the moon.
Don't allow the North Star to
help you figure out where you are.
The gray stays day after day.
Then, one day, when it parts,
the blue begins to come through.

Emerge


Emerge

Who will emerge
as the leader?
Stand up while
the others sit back.
Risk a fall to
accomplish something.

Shiver


Shiver

I go outside to feel
the sun and watch
the geese swim.

I see the trees hold
 a pose that beckons
to new leaves.

As I take in all
 that Mother Nature
offers me, I shiver.
