settling

Settling

Sunlight flashes
off a crow’s shoulder
like moonlight in an owl’s eye.

He shrugs,
becoming nothing
more than a silhouette

The sun
will not warm
the wind that shakes
leaves from trees.

I am ready
for the clarity of snow.



not reflective of where I am emotionally - it is an old poem from 2002 - but I saw a crow and it is windy and I thought of it...I should say this is an old photo - from last winter...

  2. That is a beautiful photograph - very stark but the kind of thing I love. The poem also is beautiful and resonates with me - winter has its own beauty and gives time for contemplation and reflection.

    I found you through Nature Girl. I love your black and white pictures, they have a timelessness about them that I find beautiful. I enjoyed your blog, I'll be back..!
