the transparent forest

By Kat Myrman

the transparent forest

anything but bleak
season of lace-veiled slumber
secrets of summer
revealed, now dormant nests 
and far-off mountain vistas

a backdrop for dreams
beauty in simplicity 
where sky’s the limit

don’t sleep too soundly
there is so much to be gleaned
wisdom to ponder 
when darkness overtakes us
frost bends the light like crystal

~kat

A tanka-haiku-tanka for the season.

      I’ve always thought so, yet the gray landscape rarely makes the calendars.

    Thank you my friend. I love the clear view i have of the mountain this time of year. And I am in awe of the intricacies of the bones of trees in winter. 🥰.
