Sun trails colored clouds
With shapes and shadows merging
Trees march down mountain.
Sun trails colored clouds
Month: February 2017
Swan glides on pink lake
Swan glides on pink lake
Waves carry sunset to shore
Colors wash away.
Yellow seeps from sky
Yellow seeps from sky
Bathing daffodil in glow
Petals catch last rays.
Spilling down mountain
Spilling down mountain
Water white as melted snow
Shaped by rocky banks.
Valleys growing dark
Valleys growing dark
Sun slithers across mountains
Heights gather last light.
Sunrays touch tall peak
Sunrays touch tall peak
Where lone tree meets bitter winds
Snow lives in shadows.
Dappled with sunset
Dappled with sunset
Clouds drift above leafless trees
Shatter into night.
Fed by mountain snows
Fed by mountain snows
Cold blue shivering river
Rushes through valley.
Water’s frozen flow
Water’s frozen flow
Sculpted to daggers by night
Dripping with sunshine.
Snow falls on flowers
Snow falls on flowers
Promise of spring half hidden
By winter’s white veil.
