of everyday life

a powder escape
from the harsh reality
of everyday life
mountains
Ski Reality
powder power pulls
relentlessly through the snow
bringing us to light
not what i had planned
(before we were so broken)
yet bright, all the same
Now, English?
just a year ago
i taught my boy how to ski.
(he learned in one day)
El Dorado
world reflected
with wooden beams, windy view
and skis. always skis.
Colorado Born and Bred
Berthoud Pass driving
sisters learn two years apart
same day, different face
Ski Date
snow like stardust
sparkling in morning light
to begin our day
Downhill for the Uphill
2020 ends
in the same way it began
(with downhill skiing)
2020 ends
nearly every way different
than a year ago
2020 brings
a balance of sorrow, joy
hidden behind masks
2020 ends
with screens controlling our lives
(searching for meaning)
2021
with its 5-syllable self
will bring us new hope
Ice, Water, Steam
a cold winter walk
along the Colorado
right where it begins
a hot springs retreat
to strip the cold off our skins,
bring heat to our bones
The Tree Savior
some rough beginnings
can end in the perfect way
for a perfect day
End of…
fog dawn this morning
it won’t even really rain
just tears. and fires.
