Steam Fog on Lake Ontario

warmth brushed with cold turns

into rolling steam, magic

on moving water

 

Commemorative Bench

many will sit here

remembering loved ones gone

dreaming they're present

 

Man and Trees

Tall, tough, they dwarf man

improve air, preserve soil, boost

wild life, nourish us

 

Snowed Bikes

Snowed bikes believe

they and the grass will move soon

they shouldn't trust winter

 

Dancing dots

joy dots our vision

till we focus on clearer

deeper perspective 

 

Lake watch

far out in the clouds

he searches, then feeds the ducks

captures them in shots

 

Reflections

reflections at dusk

out on the lake, lightening

our inner darkness 

 

Snow Covered Trees

flimsy, feathery

sprinkled with white, they stretch up

kiss the lake and sky

 

City Fishing

a thin line is cast 

will the twists of luck win him

a prize from the lake?

 

Snow Fluffs

snow fluffs spill over 

streets, trees, homes in a white daze

slow our hurried steps

 

Between Rocks

between rocks, it lies

a concrete build up of stress

appeased by the lake

Warm Rays of Hope

cold blasts our souls bare

but the sun breaks through the clouds

with warm rays of hope

 

Lunar New Year Lion Dance

Dancing lions shake off 

evil spirits to bring good luck

on Lunar New Year

 

Sun-kissed Swan

graceful, gliding past

others, the sun-kissed swan reigns

assured, contented

 

Ice Floats

Remnants of ice float

tenacious ... wait ... spring fever

will melt their resolve

 

Still Water

Serene, you loosen

tangled psyches, complex tales

still water, quiet self

 

The Snow Path

We choose the snow path

breathing freely, unrestrained

sun, love warming us 

 

A Man and his Dog

a man and his dog

contemplate infinity

meld into nature

 

Icy Reflections

 

icy reflections

frozen sheet, smooth, treacherous

where has your warmth gone?

A Striking Presence

on the snowy shore

stands tall, robust yet wispy

a striking presence
