Frozen, Mount Weart, Armchair Glacier, River of Golden Dreams, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Frozen Home

Curled up
In my armchair
Of ice and snow
Cozy and warm
In a place I adore

Gentle current
Beneath the ice
Downstream rumbles
Break the crust
And I am freed

Blanket ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #170

On a crisp chill morn’
Paradox so comforting
Fresh blanket of snow

Symphony

Early season
Symphony of snow
Graceful waltzing arcs
Vigorous staccato bumps
Rhythms and melodies
Of edge and wax

River Dream, Cheakamus River, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

River Dreams

In a land made white
By winterfall
A river blue
Runs right through

And carries dreams
From valleys high
They tumble down
Right by my side

And gather in
The pools below
So deep and cold
In eddies slow

Tantalus Mountain Range, Near Squamish, British Columbia, Canada

Incomprehensible Perfection

I’ve spent all my life
Learning the craft of creation
But how can mere reason
And artistry compete
With the simple gestures
Great and small
Of nature

I have just the small talent
To capture in image
And evoke in word
An incomprehensible
Perfection

Snowfall, The River of Golden Dreams, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

The Fate of Snowflakes

Snowflakes make their way
Down from clouded sky
Carried by the fateful winds
To find a place of rest
Perhaps atop the matted grass
Or come to know the branch and bough
Where they paint such pictures pretty

Others find their way to gentle currents
Return to form from which they spawned
Then seek again the path to sky
Transform, renewed, to lightest flakes
And try once more for beauty’s grace

Winter Dream, River of Golden Dreams, Meadow Park, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Winter Dreaming

Revelling on Golden Dreams
Where languid winter river flows
Beneath soft flakes fluttering
Alighting like sweet Angel’s down
Upon needled bough and barren branch
Or cloak the water where it’s still

Snow Falling on Aspen, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Spectacle of Winter

The quaking aspen
Its shivering leaves
Long since yellowed and fallen
Spreads bare branches

A net to capture
Brittle broken crystals
Falling gently
Alighting on smallest twig
A coat of soft white
On gnarled white bark

Winter ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #65

I want to take a picture
Of winter descended
But the snowfall changed
To light drizzle
It’s cold and damp outside
True signs of a
Coast Mountain winter

Symphony Amphitheatre, Whistler Mountain, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Purity

What could be more pure
Than the white of snow
Capping a mountain peak

But the arc of a ski
Carving its perfect turn
As the skier masters the snow
