—-<§>—-
frost trims every pine
breath blooms in the cold
snow hushes the trail
crows carve distant arcs
icicles ring faintly in zephyr
light breaks through the firs
a fox prints the ridge
creek mist curls upward
wind waltz’s old growth
moss glows under ice
stumps play mountain tag
silence leans in close
shadows drift like wraiths
climbs thrust ancient spines
sun flares gold — then fades
deer pause in thin light
sky holds winter’s blues
night steps soft and sure

Rob, this form was made for you to describe this place. Two awstriking (is that a word?) images you’ve created to go with.
Thank you so much Lisa. I was of two minds in a style to create an image for this piece —- I went both ways. Glad you enjoyed your walk with me. 😉
I’m enchanted!
Thank you Petru, hope you enjoyed the magic of an Oregon mountain winter walk. 🙂
A wonderful walk to take…. wish for something like that.
Oh man Björn — I used to absolutely be absorbed and lifted by my many so sojourns into the Oregon Cascade Mountains. Of all the things I miss the most is having freedom n wilderness. It will never come again for me — butbeven tye memories are intoxicating.
beautifully visual in words and images – I especially love the line
“crows carve distant arcs”
Thank you Laura… very much! 🙂
I love this imagery: sun flares gold — then fades. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you Grace… 🙂
I love the thought of icicles ringing.
Thank you Melissa… 🙂
