stories everywhere
 
even in the winter moon
 
hidden by thick clouds

Jan19

 
 
 

Owl in the oak tree,
 
where am I supposed to be,
 
if not here with you?

Jan18

 
 
 

First dream of the year—
 
a prophet shouts out warnings,
 
but no one listens.

Jan17

 
 
 

First month of the year—
 
I break one resolution
 
but make another.

Jan16

 
 
 

intermingling breath…
 
yours and mine…frosty morning…
 
we two become one

Jan15

 
 
 

Come, Giver of light,
 
into our wintry darkness.
 
Help us find our way.

Jan14

 
 
 

My traveling days—
 
have they ended forever,
 
owl in the oak tree?

Jan13

 
 
 

All you need to know
 
can be found in the snowflake
 
settling on your hand.

Jan12

 
 
 

With no dog to walk,
 
I am free to read a book
 
and sip hot chocolate.

Jan11

 
 
 

Deepening winter—
 
the roots of my apple tree
 
await the great thaw.
