Late December

Winter days dwindle, 
tree lights, tinsel and 
hearts kindle. 
Chilled to the bone, 
those who roamed 
came home.

Standing Tall

outside the box, 
even mushrooms are homes 
full of heart

Never Still

light shifts in the trees,
fallen leaves tumble and turn,
going with the flow

beached downstream for a moment
before another wind comes

In the Flow

memories flash, 
silver fish in the shallows 
river-cold then gone

Layers of Light

clouds on Mount Greylock, 
ever-changing layers of 
dark and light

Together by the Tree

out of the rain and snow, 
laughing away long dark days 
beside the tree

Snug and Cozy

snug and cozy 
despite the gales of winter, 
family and friends: 
carols, games, laughter and fun, 
serious thoughts left behind

Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

wringing out 
a rain-soaked t-shirt, 
my son smiles

Rain over Mount Greylock

unescapable 
dramatic tide of dark clouds,  
the first drop falls

Tear Down This Wall

no matter how grand 
every wall falls to wind, storm 
and time

Bridge over the River Fergus

grey stones strung with red, 
the River Fergus ripples 
with silent ghosts

Far from the Irish Sea

doubtless Dubliners 
take in stride their standing stones, 
but not I
