Sanctuary #3

Sanctuary #3

The snowflakes fly

in early winter air,

lay a white coverlet

over the sparse landscape.

It stills the endless rustle

of dry leaves – brings

a silence and sanctuary

to the unsettled senses.

When the sun returns

it warms the long icicles

which slowly drip from roof.

Although it is not clear

when the next storm

will strike, we can only

wait because the season

has barely begun.

Autumn’s Ending

It is no great surprise

in late autumn to behold

a flurry of flakes that move

briskly in the cool breeze.

The fall season is ending -

winter will soon commence.

The full Frost Moon lies

low on the horizon,

lays a rope of silver

on the lake’s dark surface.

Its light gently fades

in the slow rising of the sun.
