Birdsongs presage spring
as I walk through frosted trees –
the frigid moon greets

Birdsongs presage spring
as I walk through frosted trees –
the frigid moon greets

A riverside pause
Peace found by this constant flow
My time to move on

Oak-seers’ footsteps
hid by winter’s frozen shawl –
Whispers on cold winds

Wandering deserts
No one misses mesa stumps
Truth like lightening bolts

The leaves have vanished
Winter’s left his calling card
The spirit renews
