Outlined by nature’s tapestry . . .

• 

the crystal ball offers consideration of things to come,

• 

while nearby the brook falls,

chanting fervently on its eternal course.

• 

Some drops choose to remain as frozen spirals,

• 

and extend the reach of the last form touched.

• 

This is a wild place,

• 

where coyote and bobcat do roam.

• 

And seedhead displays . . .

• 

introduce zigzag patterns to match curious footsteps.

• 

Others may make one hobble, but the slow down they encourage causes appreciation.

• 

At the brook’s source, sunshine waves upon open water,

• 

though half the pond shows off an icy coating that shouldn’t surprise.

• 

Embedded within, a frozen summer flyer juxtaposes the seasons.
