Leaf’s Lace
Leaf’s lace
In water
Frozen for all time
Your clear crystal glory
Only brings to mind
A forest’s giant
Rough bark glazed
Painted in winter’s whites
Glistening, waiting
In a cooler’s sun’s light
I walk through
Boots all full of snow
Enjoying the dripping silence
Of this cold day’s glow
Nature waiting
All quiet, sleeping for now
As it comes in unannounced
Spring’s breath blows gently
Stirring to arouse
SoulSails
