sunrise

sunrise
small branch growing
from the old tree trunk

February light

February light
on the trees
easy to imagine
their new growth
in Spring

beauty of trees
shaped by the wind
and seasons

reading poems
and a few moments
to reflect upon
what I read

light for a time
on the birch trees
on a grey day

summer evening
light fills the evergreens
with old and new growth

branches viewed
in the corner windows
beloved old tree
