Micro-flakes falling,
Barely seen, slowly accumulating.
Freshening Valentin’s snow.

Siren’s Call…
i left a comment, and reblogged, – well, ok, it’s right back there so you can back up and read Wind Against Current’s post or just click the link. The part that got me thinking was this, “It’s that small voice that calls to you: “Pay attention! this thought, or image, or moment, or destination is important!””.
And then blogger Johna Till Johnson (@johnatilljohnson) stated that artists, scientists, and adventurers all know that voice. Certainly those are all people who hear and heed the call to stop, step aside and pause, even follow where the call leads.
In one of my alter egos, the credit union security officer ego, I constantly remind co-workers that we all need to pay attention when that voice, often deep inside and speaking ever so softly, says, “Pay attention!” Then it’s to pay attention to what is happening here, why does this not feel right…
Muse or guardian, we should all cultivate listening to the voice that calls.

Full of yourself…
Now, full of yourself,
You dominate all those around you.
Full moon arising!
Shadow snow
Like lemmings falling Thousands rushing to death, oblivion. Shadow snow falls, vanishing.
Winter Magic
Smoke on the river
Frozen over, trees dressed in white.
Magic in winter’s night.
T’ai Chi Snow
Thrust low to front,
Draw back, slow step right, swing, throw.
T’ai chi snow.
Forecast
Summer over, winter is near
My neighbors in silence declare
Discarded lawn chairs curbside stacked
For life
Great Blue Heron, slowly stalking
Strikes, one is taken, one lives on
Blue Heron, poised, ready
On life
Little time for reflective,
centering, and contemplative thought.
Shortens life.
Dropping…
Early spring rains,
Your cherry blossom iridescence.
Lost on the ground
Temperatures dropping, like cherry blossoms at the tidal basin. A taste of spring and then back to bundling up. A reminder not to rush the planting season by putting flowers out too soon.
