Into deep shadows
Chased by Alberta’s clipper
Take the secret path
Month: January 2018
Rising morning light
First reveals dark silhouettes
Then colors them in
Dead of mid-winter
Dried, quiv’ring leaves remember
The soft sound of rain
The patient forest
Measures change by the season
Growth by the century
Groggy sky, slow rise
Traffic rolls reluctantly
Into a Monday
He’d rather freeze stiff
With fresh air in his lungs than
Run in a fish bowl
Stories told by clouds
With changing shapes and colours
Can’t be summarized
Sniffs the warming air
Awakes from hibernation
Shaking off the snow
+ 5 extra layers
+ 500 snowdrift hurdles
= Winter running plan
Snarling northern wind
Chasing smoke from chimneys
Nipping at its heels
