beneath snow packs

somewhere water

purifies all

already past

a few drops

a trickling

new routes

in terra weave

listen

your tranquil heart

life’s rhythmic drum

beats eternal

glimpse

rainbow reflections

disguised as you

within a glass orb

balanced on bare limbs

fragile as breath

stellar’s jay laughter

breaches the quiet

of forest’s winter sky

unseen

like promises

you swear

to the mountain

to keep~
