sometimes a small bloom
from a broken, displaced plant
is all a day needs
even its roots wait
patiently in their soil
basking in the sun
Bright News
gratitude
Silver Lining Right Above Us
even when we lose
he has won his only chance
to be part of this
Spring Planting
ski season is done.
we’ll have to make do with yards
full of happiness.
Praise Powder
a Sunday ski day
is not equal to church time
(it's so much better)
Another COVID Milestone
quarantine closures
plus trapped-home anxiety
delayed this moment
yet, the smile wins
a year later, we made it
(a taste of freedom)
Ready, Set, Rise
winter sunrise strokes
as soft as with a paintbrush
with red glow on snow
power lines define
the hidden energy here
ready to rise up
a long-shadowed pup
feels tall in the morning light
ready for the day
Powder Power
only two days late
the snow has taken over
(Lord, save us from drought)
Getaway Gold
aspen-lined gold runs
are what make Steamboat special
(we'll always be back)
a weekend with him
after all these years in love
sweet as fresh powder
Soak It Away
a hellish week (year)
but we are nearing the end
and it’s so damn sweet
Best Valentine Date
vaccine Valentine
does love get any better
than this science?
