my spaces
are not quiet…
loud echoes
reverberations
as the planets shift

Colors of Winter
bright yellow warblers
evergreen trees standing tall
red winter berries
grass turns into winter nests
water falls as gentle snow

Wide Awake | NaPoWriMo Day 30
sunny afternoon
no rabbits in the garden
nobody to chaseboth our people are asleep
what’s to do with time that’s free?

Trees and Rivers | NaPoWriMo Day 29
moss and scattered grass
trees stretch to reach forever
anchored in the ground
seeds drop into mountain streams
traveling to lands unknown

Contentment | NaPoWriMo Day 27
wrap yourself in quiet
put sadness aside
look past pain to joydeep rivers carve their way through stone
falling tears both heal and burn
