the wolf moon
slowly rises–
a white bubble
in the black
molasses sky
of january

a new day (shadorma)
a new day
arrives to banish
the demons
of the night–
how quickly they all vanish
in the morning light!

nestled in the snowy woods–

endless battle
in times of great social upheaval,
the battle between good and evil
is played out on myriad stages–
and so has it been thru the ages
.
and now, you must do what is right,
so take up your weapon and fight–
but if you hold sway over men,
choose not the sword, but the pen
limerick 48
the eagle, a great bird of prey,
will put on a fearsome display;
yet everyone knows
that even the crows
can easily chase him away

shot of the day 12/28/22
“sunrise through my frosty window”
i awoke from strange dreams
and peered out my window,
but all i could see
was more of the same

ye olde lighthouse
stand firmly on the precipice
send out your light to the lost
be strong and weather the storm
be that beacon on solid rock
be like the lighthouse

Chaos and Order
The snow buntings have arrived en masse; it’s finally cold enough for them here.
Many birds fly in some kind of formation, often wingtip to wingtip like the Blue Angels, but these little snow birds are all over the place. From here, it looks like total chaos, but nothing could be further from the truth.
chaos in nature
is part of the grander scheme
of perfect order
