#23 Small Stone: Split Asunder

Trees split asunder by
the weight of snow and
ice too great to bear
even the strongest of
giants is no match
for nature’s force

Red Rose Dreams

Red roses even in
my dreams still
belong to you as
fragrant as though
you are still
here beside me
red roses for you

I cannot see a rose of any color, but especially red roses, and not
think of you. In memory of mother, gone but never forgotten.

#21 Small Stone: Silent Tracks

Trains sounding in the
distance of darkest
night remind me of
how many tracks are
now abandoned left
silent without wheels
without destination

Freedom’s Muse

She remembers freedom
like a forest trail
following her
beckoning

tree branches tender
caressing
showing her
heart’s desire as
budding leaves
green but
not with envy

her muse following
not as a shadow
but as one
privy to life’s
secrets

wound ’round about
as vines clinging
to tree trunks
laden but with
no regrets

dancing on fallen
leaves
a gift of her
imagination

#20 Small Stone: Precious Energy

Electric lines carrying
precious energy now
left lying in the snow
leaving lives without
heat to warm homes
disconnecting work as
our world becomes a
motionless landscape

#19 Small Stone: Frozen Images

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
