The sun is really trying today, but a rare thermal inversion layer is keeping the colder air trapped near the ground. Just what we need.

Month: January 2021
but a dream
when space itself dreams
the worlds appear
and i know it seems
that you’re really here
but hold down your weeping
for we must adhere
to keeping it sleeping
or we’ll disappear

Haibun: Breaking Trail
It’s very nice out here in the woods today. I can’t believe how warm it is for January, and we really haven’t had that much snow, either.
I’m just strolling along, enjoying the day.
Beautiful, golden sunlight is filtering down through the trees ahead, and casting long thin shadows across the as-of-yet unspoiled road. I almost hate to walk down it, it’s so…untouched. But I hear approaching snowmobiles, and they’ll be certain to ruin the moment, anyway.

in the sun and snow
i feel like i’m walking
on soft, fluffy clouds

the four elements
meet up once again and pose

shot of the night 1/18/21
the heavens are aglow
with stellar beacons,
but what ships
might they guide?

birdrise
a new morning breaks
the clouds are undone
the spirit awakes
our flight has begun
the dark of night ending
we all are as one
ascending and blending
into the sun

three bump night
first bump
in the night
heart takes flight
panic creeps in–
what a fright!
second bump
of the night
turn on the light
lover walks in–
what a sight!
third bump
of the night
high as a kite
moons shine in–
what a night!

Limerick 29
When I walked to the lake in the dale,
I was shocked by a snake, long and pale,
And I knew my old foe
Was but blue-tinted snow–
Yet I opted to break a new trail.

a young bald eagle
neither eaglet nor adult
mad at the whole world
