Hints of Spring

as crocuses bloom
February nearly done
the air still quite cool

Flowers are pushing their way above the soil. Yet most of the trees remain barren. But one I saw today has a riot of small blossoms. Change continues, as it does.

Friday Morning Haiku

spring flowers awake
striving for the blessed sun
such problems they solve

Awoke to Birdsong

awoke to birdsong
slowly the sun rises
hinting at springtime

The birds were quite boisterous this morning. Looks like spring is nearly here. Though this hasn’t been that burial of a winter around here, I am ready for spring. Are you?

Surprised By Sunlight

Afternoon Sunlight


surprised by sunlight
after so much morning rain
this lightness of being

Winter Berries

Elderberries

winter bares food, too
and the birds know where to seek
so life continues

Found these berries on a recent walk. Summer, of course, bursts with live giving foods for all. Winter, it seems, is more stealthy. But food is present!

Blessings of the Pines

amongst the trees
blessings of the pines
drifting on sunlight

Hint’s Of Spring

through the cold air
in the winter sunlight
hints of spring awake

Took the featured image while on my walk today in downtown Edmonds (WA).

Ride: A Haiku

Ride: A Haiku

in cool winter’s rain
wheels turning as I ride
motion in silence

A Valentines Day Haiku

romances evolve

old man and woman hold hands

watching the sunset

I hope your Valentines Day is everything you hope for and need.

even in winter
the blooms always find a way
life is beyond spring
