Wonderful White

perched atop a barren branch
under the falling snow
watching
singing
heavens above, pond below

dried, thin fingers
gather the snowy white;
slowly
bending
yielding and still

down-feathered friends
glide through the
icy
waters
warmed only by nature's paintbrush

poised,
silent
sea gulls drift
miles away
from the ocean's edge
to the snowy pond

shrouded
cloaked
a mantle of white
quiet and crisp
this winter wander-land
