2017.04.13: delight

those cooped up inside

can’t see the fleeting colors

passing through dawn sky

2017.02.02: ice rose

February bud

igniting sky with red glow

then melting darkness

hazard lights flashing

a birder stops to admire

hawks bathing in dawn

lightning to the North

geese veering to avoid storm’s path

Eastern sky glows red

pushing back the night

string of pearls lighting the way

the splendor of dawn

while the world yet sleeps

sitting alone in stillness

robin announces dawn

low lying clouds

blaze with the sun’s morning fire

kindling for the soul
