moment of beautiful – shadow on the snow
~
~
under the snow
~
the shadow is a blue portal, a hidden way
to crocus places, sheltered where no drifting
snow or bitter wind comes howling
~
frost-brittle maples creak
and chickadees crack seeds
of sunflower stashed
in tunnels shaped
by squirrels

Hi Barbara. The shadow was a bit elusive … The sun kept going behind the trees! Jane
