Dancing With Spring

11/28/2015

Swirling and whirling
Dances past the door
Dressed for the weather
Shares the folk lore

Out on the meadow
Across the creek
Playful and silly
Games of hide ‘n seek

Bashful and wordless
Flows ‘cross the sky
Relentless in greeting
Terminal by and by

Friend with the clouds
Enemy to the road
Harsh in reality
Like a seatless commode

Welcomed by some
Hated by more
Drifting, not lucid
Sassy wintery whore

Teasing and touching
Tickling the nose
A sticky embrace
Its wrath it bestows

Dancing to the end
With the welcoming spring
Snowy winter retreats
Summer’s in full swing

There is a tiny wedge of colour showing along the eastern horizon as she slips from the warmth of the bed. Notebook and camera in hand, she leaves the house.

The short trip down the gravel road will take her past the awakening duck pond to the hill beyond. She drives with the windows down listening to the sounds of the morning coming to life. Stopping often to capture the explosion of sky colours.

Finally, she arrives at that place where Mother Nature’s amphitheater engulfs her soul. Her vision and thoughts are uninterrupted in this sanctuary. Here, she writes.

Frozen Mystery

Remote, quiet and off the grid. A fixer upper the realtor had said. Only a deer trail to the door.

From the outside, the dovetail corners of the cabin spoke volumes as did the overgrown yard.

It was inside that sent her imagination reeling and took her breath away. Everything in place as if someone had gone out for a walk.

The wood stove with split logs stacked beside it. A bed frame made from poles. A table, a bench, dishes on the shelf.

Determined to dissolve the mystery that had been frozen in time, she signed the papers.
