Risk vs. Reward

 

Sometimes you just have to

Go for all the marbles

No risk no reward

Examination

 

Our constitution

Follow it or amend it

Just don't ignore it

Awakening

 

Beauty awakens

And the world is revealed

In all its splendor

Self reflection

 

Time for a short pause

To reflect on past behavior

And gain perspective

Be present in the moment

But look to the future

Migration

 

Only the strong survive

An unrelenting winter

It helps to head south

Warming hut

 A welcome respite

To a cold winter walk

Come in, rest, warm your soul

Two tracks

 

Two tracks converge

And ask a simple question

Where do we go from here

The icy curtain

 

Ring down the curtain

On a frigid winter season

It's time for spring

Courage

 

Out on a limb

Can be a scary place

It's not for the faint-hearted

Puffed up

 

Harbinger of spring

0utside in the cold

Yes that's snow on my beak

24 feels like 12

 

Caught in winter's grip

A woodland stream surrenders

To nature's onslaught

Simple elegance

 

Simple elegance

Focus on what's important

Disregard the rest

Imaginary friend

 

A walk in the woods

Accompanied by my friend

Best friends forever

Our imaginary friends

They don't care who you vote for

Morning glory

 

A glorious sight

Greets the early riser

Fire in the eastern sky

Painted by the hand of God

Given for our enjoyment

Social distancing

 

Birds are doing it

Now we need them to wear masks

And get vaccinated

Hidden desire

 

Emotions surface

When light is shined on darkness

Allow your heart to warm

Sunset stroll

 

Alone on the beach

Two lovers stroll at sunset

Lost in their own thoughts

Winter sun

 

Get as close as you can

To the hazy winter sun

There's light but not much warmth

Do over

 

It happens each morn

A chance for a do over

Use it with great care

Euphoria

 

To heaven and back

Is falling deeply in love

Fly me to the moon

Sands of time

 

Crossing the sands of time

can be a lonely journey

Until you take a friend
