they will return in the spring,
dormant leaves, wintering,
when the days grow longer,
dawn’s chorus erupting

they will return in the spring,
dormant leaves, wintering,
when the days grow longer,
dawn’s chorus erupting
~kat

peace exists
in the whisper of the wind,
the crash of waves on the shore,
but not in silence
~kat

swift, the cold wind
sweeps through barren trees
ice-nipped air, drizzling sleet,
crisp, the leaves beneath our feet
~kat

pricked by boughs swept
bare, hovering low, the
clouds, drizzle droplets
pitapatting on the fallen leaves
~kat
