Shadows deepen now

as the Sun must

Hoist itself

Over the hill.

My ritual

Defined

Across the pond

Where a Swath

of Morning Light

Awaits me.

Wake to

Icy cold

this morning.

Winter

is setting

her roots.

The frothy

Snow

Atop the pond

is Fog like~

a Swirl of Cream

Into coffee,

with an unusual

Tinge

of Hen’s Egg Green,

As if a child

was Experimenting

in his kitchen sink,

Playing with

temperature

and

frozen sky

and

Dreams

of Winters

Deep.

Afternoon, and

no Shadows on

the Road~

Everything LIGHT

with WHITE.

Mother Nature

tidies

our world

with a blanket of snow

Quieting

every

sound…

Winter World of Contrasts~

Rosy sky,

Wet bark

White snow

Evergreen

Frozen Earth

Flowing stream

Cold air

Warm hearts.

Kelly Salasin, 2009
