Long Way Until Spring





Shadows in the snow,
Silent patches of dark and light;
Branches wave lightly.




Rhododendrons shake
Bowing slightly in the breeze;
Their leaves topped with snow.





Footprints from my car;
Did some animal want a ride?
(Guess he went elsewhere).




A large shadow floats
Silently into a tree;
There it folds its wings.






Ice on the surface
Of the perpetual stream.
Still the water flows.




Skeletal plants grow,
Biding their time in this cold.
Long way until Spring.



The saplings have caps,
Uniformly round and white--
Their winter garments.



Still the dead leaf clings,
Not frozen or blown away.
A winter limbo.
