Midwinter in the Forest

Nature is Us

1 Jan

solstice rain rouses sleepy earth
     from winter dreams —

forest floor pores sodden,
     oozing droplets
          slipping into streams;

stubbly sedge stretches lazily
     into hazy sky

as mute sun filters
     through stirring sugar pines —

sparking shimmer in stunted shoots,
     singed by the death of winter;

our wakening world
     lit in the glitter dazzle
          of a thousand silver sequins.
