poetry, prose, and photography
the rain clouds lighten
greedy puddles expanded
wintertime arrives
The first day of winter arrives, dawn finally brightens Seattle’s clouds. Today follows a day of record rain and related aggregations.
With the passing of the solstice, I await the longer days and the promise of spring.
moving through the cold
winter’s approaching quickly
still hints of summer
Not yet dawn
Morning’s air chills
Blankets more inviting
Soon will grab some tea
Under the cold sun
The welcomed sunlight warms me
Amidst bitter cold
As they reach downwards
Gravity’s and cold’s teamwork
Strange tranquility
More snow has fallen
The ground covered with stillness
Echoes of my past
We had another snowfall yesterday. I love the snow covered earth. A sense of peacefulness fills me. I remember the many snowy days from my youth. Joyous moments; sadness at the losses that brought me here.
I sit in the darkness
Free from fear’s anguished grasping
Earth covered in snow
Seattle’s first significant snow event this winter has disrupted our lives solidly. I miss the days i could walk to work, even in the snow. The roads have been quite treacherous. So, I’ve avoided them. Today, though, I really need to make my way into the office. It’ll be fun ,I’m sure.
