Winter roses
an ice crystal
on each thorn

frigid moonlight
icicle shadows
the teeth of
Winter

Winter dusk
the sound of
an evening bell
vanishes in
the mist

snowy evening
two crows
on a Winter
branch

Winter forest
there is something
sacred in such
loneliness

ending their
sky dance
one by one
crows in the
Winter dusk

Winter forest
infinite pathways
through new-fallen
    snow

Winter twilight
wind chimes dancing
in a fickle breeze

another day passing
echoes in corners
of the Winter twilight

This short night ___
a fading-crescent moon
holds in its arms
the promises of
dawn and Spring

Wintry Dawn
deer licking
frost from each
others coats

In this world
we carry the
weight of Time
gazing at flowers

Winter moon
my ramshackle life
is what it is

Winter evening
a beautiful stranger
   passes
the sound of
icicles falling
