Winter brings weak
Morning light late
Afternoons dark
Frost-shivered limbs
First sign of warmth
(Rain on the west wind)
Foliage thickens
Leaf litter laps the fence
Sticky buds unfold
Super-slow-motion
Burst of pink
Petals un-scroll
Sudden brightness soon
Burnt by memories
Casting shadows
Across our lawn
Spectacular displayed
Vibrancy lasting
No longer
Than winter's sun

walk with me on frost
Sun's glow bedazzles blue eyes
shadows swallow us

snow-cold breathes of wind
carry the echoes of cranes
setting ice-white sun

sent via lunar surface
dusted in silver
