Listen to the wind moving among the branches on winter’s watch: finding frosty remnants of summer’s growth to remind us of all the richness we are given.

Frosty leaves invite the sun to warm them.

The storm is gathering: feel the wind seeping through the cracks and howling loudly in the trees with winter’s approach.

Winter’s treasures move deep and swift and stir the earth for springtime’s growth.

Glacial melt remembers the mountains in springtime and winter’s fiercest blast and resists permanence; grief also melts.

Melt the ice chunk by biter chunk until the heart is free from the cold and winter’s tale is done.

Radiance breathes on a wintry afternoon.
