i dream of you
and wonder why i only see you when my eyes are closed,
when the fog is thick,
when the moon is high,
when the winds are cold
i dream of you

i dream of you
and wonder why i only see you when my eyes are closed,
when the fog is thick,
when the moon is high,
when the winds are cold
i dream of you

twine
rose petals
snow
watercolor paper
orange peel
ice cream
the pup’s fur
bark on a tree
soft blankets
oil pastels
white flour
sea glass
denim
a string of pearls

I’ll be taking a small break from blogging until January 4th. I wish you all joy and peace.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

“Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight…”

Welcome Winter Solstice

ribbons in copper bowls with bits of broken seashells

from a distance, in the fog,
i see the gauzy shadows of trees
and as i walk closer
their lines become more defined,
darker,
brighter,
more substantial–
coming in for a better look,
reaching to touch a crinkled leaf,
resting my forehead on the damp trunk
i take a breath of cold morning air
and watch the geese land on the water
