DECEMBER 2019


Precious lake summer joy
blue face twinkles
on this brisk winter day
your burned mountains
now gracefully draped
by winter's snowy cape
sleep well this cold season
may your mountains drink deeply
may new life return once more
already first green spikes 
rise bravely greeting the winter sun


Seems only yesterday
our bench was blissfully warm
basking...faces to the sun
bleak winter claims it now
memories of sunny days linger
harsh call of a solitary raven
suddenly shatters the stillness
we slowly retrace our steps
leaving more tracks in the glistening snow


Water spirit's shadow
words of wisdom falling
fluidly from his lips


Morning sunlight
kissing the treetops
warm golden glow


Last breakfast of the year
heat sizzles delightfully on the tongue
going out with a bang
