Images iced and frozen          
held captive in a
storms frozen embrace
where time and the
cycle of nature only
will release them

City Hibernation
They emerge slowly
like hibernating bears
coming forth after a
storm hesitating
watching
moving about
They begin to shovel
snow and to scrape
icy automobiles in
hopes of venturing
out but they
remain unmoved
One gentleman wields a
camera focusing on
his laurel hedge
photographing
something
then disappears
Children begin to sled
throwing snowballs
laughing the cold
forgotten then
darkness
all is quiet

#18 Small Stone: Liquid Coffee Bean
Coffee brewing wafting        
aroma of fresh ground
coffee beans creating
transformation into
pure energy liquid to
warm you from the
inside out on a very
chilling winter day

#17 Small Stone: Peeking Sun
Sun tentatively
peeking behind
stormy clouds
parting just enough
teasing to warm
your senses

#15 Small Stone: Winter Blanket
Snow falling                 
fluffy flakes
drifting
down to quietly
create a
winter blanket

Closed Doors
Crystallization of promises
empty, bereft, void of
new beginnings
tattered remnants of
wind-blown flags
announcing images
hewn on stone
an audience of one
behind closed doors
only visions of
dreams becoming
something more
brandishing a looking
glass tantamount to
something tangible
discovery of
peace in living
as oneself believing                      
unbridled freedom as
passion limited only
by closed doors
opened by
estuaries limitless
pathways giving
into possibilities
a cryptic meaning
rhythmic beating of
a heart still waiting
Discovering that the
Door is Always Open

#14 Small Stone: Loving Light
Surely the light will
fade and grow dim as
loved ones leave us
behind but most surely
they remain within
our loving hearts

#13 Small Stone: Eyes of Intelligence
Behold eyes that                         
speak intelligence
begging the question
from humans that
know so very little
unable to understand
felines are so much
more than curious

#12 Small Stone: Woven Ties
Life woven together intrinically
with indelible ink that may fade
with time but not alter the
unalterable truth of those we
connect to as families of origin
with ties that bind over time
