...falling snow...

let me feel it with a thousand fingers
let me touch its delicate ecstasy
let me breathe the serene stillness
let me
let me
the falling snow
heed the whispers of my heart.

Pristine Quietude

fallen snow
a pristine quietude
blanketed in glistening white splendor
jeweled be all crested in ice cycles
branch and bough in blessed surrender
cold be this wind
white white be the sky above
held I be in winter's embrace
this the Creator's love.

...there is it .... and oh so cold... Prelude to the Snow

haiku reflections


this night's winter sky
violet celestial sea
prelude to the snow.

Upon the Waters and Land Alike...here in New York

upon the waters and land alike
fallen snow crystals of light
hues of blue cast from the skies above
winter's embrace, God's love.
