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

 

Evening Blues

Evening blues impart

their obscure weight over us

let's dance, light the stars

Blooms

effusive blooms thrive

in sunlight, exude friendship's

joyful intention 

Ephemeral

ephemeral, we

slip from real to mystical

float unseen, aware

 

Toronto by Night

jewels scintillate

on a cloak of midnight blue

a secret bond shared

Dusk's Palette

two trees guard the mound

adorn dusk's pastel sky 

with filigreed grace

 

Bouquet

 bouquet of friendship

still life's deep colours glow

vivid, heart-warming

Highrises

they reach for the sky

vertical homes, city dreams

a foggy future
