Still

No sign of spring
winter lingers on
cold mornings
clear blue sky
nature covered in snow
ice builds bridges 
cross the creek
with running water
just a few more days now

Awaiting

Ice covers the pond
like wrapping paper for
the frozen water plants
just beneath the surface

Sunbeam melts the ice
inch by inch unwrapping
again the pond gives life to
the frozen waterlily


Frozen water lily leaves (at Ble in Norway)

Hope in a droplet

Winter seems never ending
the days are short
no sunlight
and nights too long

Walking in the forest
dark and heavy clouds
a little droplet
catch my eyes

The beauty of the droplet
a little jewel on the sprouse
gives me hope
of brighter days to come

Winter mood II

Winter recolors the forest
from green and yellow
to all shades of black and white

Cold rocks on the forest ground
grey and edgy
softly reshaped by layers of white snow

Tree logs dark and grey
naked and cold
carrying a few golden leaves that didn't fall

Black running water in the little creek
dark and mysterious
framed in softly by the snow

December feeling

Into the woods
a cold day in December 
the old trees covered
with white frost
Feels just like
walking into a fairy tale
acknowledging the beauty of winter
and the good vibes of Christmas
