In Distinctive Hues

silver paints the winter sky
a jeweled chill
sparkling diamonds
tinting lakes in its likeness
a mirror of cool, iciness

and I watch from a warmth
of brown
cozy as a grizzly
or a joey at naptime~
a touch of mocha coating me

the contrast is breathtaking
the brisk chill of silver
the fuzzy warmth of brown
home amid the season’s chill
sheltered that I may enjoy its beauty

Winter’s Savor

coarse sea salt
appears to dress each surface
crystalline stars,
lacy diamonds
cling to the chill
of this morning

extremely fine
“sodium chloride”
seems to be seasoning our world
giving it a cool, crisp flavor
easy to appreciate
this side of the glass

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

A painter's brush could not do justice to
the imagery that was given to me as I read
both of these...

Salt, makes me think of a Marguerita...
ummmmm...so good!
