Shadows on the Snow

It's back to normal:
Sun is shining, roads are clear.
Snow blanket remains.









Shadows on the snow
Ripple and roll in the light;
Clouds billow above.













Climbing up the tree
Snow seems like it's falling up.
Topsy turvy world.










Magic lawn today:
Green moss covered by white snow,
All in a few hours.

A winding darkness
Cuts through the white in the woods;
It's underground warmth.

Look how high the snow,
At least ten feet above ground.
Did it climb or fall?








Still the bungi cord
Holds the abandoned mail box
Firmly in its place.









These winter saplings
Set to brave the ice and snow
Bow to the cold wind.
