winter stills the sea
for a magical moment
of soothing silence

january light
there’s none so dull and grey
as a january day
when nature’s pretty colors
are packed up and put away
and nothing looks quite right
in this january light
now even summer memories
have turned to black and white

tanka: bound
a winter sunset
may hold us spellbound when we
should be homeward bound;
where we find boundless beauty,
danger is bound to follow

I thought I would finish out the year with a shot of one of my diamond willow walking sticks, Caduceus. I love working with diamond willow; its easy to carve and has a mix of beautiful grains. I usually give them away; I like carving as a hobby, not a money-making chore.
Also, I’d like to add this disclaimer concerning any and all resolutions I may foolishly spout circa New Year’s Eve:
The resolutions
I may make
Are unabashedly
All fake;
There’s not a chance
That they will take,
But what the heck–
They’re fun to break!
Happy New Year!!

tanka: dark light
I once chased the sun
to escape the dark of night–
but I was a fool;
when the dark overtook me,
I finally saw the stars!
