Morning View in Winter

It’s dark longer now,
or does my perception lie?

Look beyond the veil.

Morning Burst

Morning burst fuels hope
full of fresh vision and time.

There’s a knock outside.

Beauty can be found

in a leaf lost on the ground.

Feel the peace let loose.

A tree is always
open to redirection.
I need a slight shove.

Questions. Sadness. Hope.
Does everything have meaning?
Fall sky grays with change.

Time tricks after time

before my heart catches up.

Tea steeps in my cup.

Untended pathways

leave little room for escape.

A trapped tiger hunts.
