__ The fawns of life, count the charms of nature; as they override nature's costs, the young teach us all.   _m

evergreen statues 
hidden within this snows grasp
footprints of a fawn

Fifty six years ago... today. _m

see the truth
find that ping pong ball
in a waterfall 

__ The moon and stars... glowing through the light snowflakes... and in hearing that owl's tally,  my imagination explored. _m

snowy moon
as this owl counts the stars
flake by flake

The moon roams; and imaginations see the wolves breath... framing that moon.

the moon clouds
wolves howl at their own breath
frigid winds

__ Nature's poor spider, clung to that maple leaf on its glide to the pond below; life's sailors must navigate... within nature's changes. 

this leaf afloat
whirls in the ponds wind
seasick spider
