An old year

 

Twenty-twenty fades

into the shadows of history

it's about time

Transition

 

A lone sentinel

watchful on her icy perch

poised for the new year

Global warming

 

It's warmer today

on the sunny side of the creek

blame global warming

Occupied

 

A random park bench

occupied by fallen snow

may stay for a while

Winter heat

 

Winter sunlight

adds warmth to a frozen landscape

but it's still cold

Winter Gnome

 

Winter Gnome laughing

as we trudge through his landscape

who gets the last laugh

as long as it stays cold, him

but we'll be laughing by spring

A blue Christmas

 

Anyone else sad

spending Christmas eve alone

thank you government 

you've kept us safe and healthy

have a Merry Christmas

Tis the season

 

There's a chill in the air

and a light dusting of snow

Tis the season

Winter solstice

 

Turning the corner

we will start a brand new year

it won't be long now

the days will soon grow longer

and the snow might finally melt

Winter solitude

 

The parks are empty

and silence blankets the land

time for reflection

Stillness

 

A stream meanders

through a winter contryside

return to stillness

A winter stroll

 

Come and walk with me

through a winter wonderland

remember dress warm

Snow fell

 

Snow fell overnight

now worms are harder to find

time to eat berries

Truth

 

Truth and purity

comes with real trust among friends

enduring for life

Karma

 

Intent and actions

have a way of returning

when Karma happens

Day's end

 

A day's final blush

painted by a setting sun

fitting denouement

New life

 

On a fallen log

hidden on a forest floor

mushrooms breath new life

Tangled

 

Driven to abstraction

a change of seasons does it

there's no known cure

December afternoon

 

A chill in the air

the landscape is transformed

and our world has changed

One of a kind

 

One of a kind

standing out from the crowd

can be lonesome

A touch of warmth

 

From under deep snow

bittersweet color peeks out

warming a cold day

Peaceful interlude

 

Snow blankets the woods

and the silence is total

take time and reflect
