here and not so much
like the ice.
beautiful reflections on the beauty of the cold in your north country bound with the bittersweet of letting go
ReplyDeleteI love your brilliant sky. and send hugs for your friend setter. It is a very hard thing to even think of saying goodbye.

ReplyDeleteindia, thank you. your words came in whilst i struggled mightily to complete a NYS grant application, i may have uttered an oath or two all the while.
ReplyDeleteGlorious ice and snow meditation right to the Petticoat of tree root. How delicate your expression of Gwens fading. Love to you and to the receding ice as well as dear Gwen

Beautiful poem of a post. Expecting those trees draped in flowing crystal frocks to slide across the ice together in a winter dance. (spent a piece of today looking at a book on the Arctic-loving the polar bears & ice).
ReplyDeletehazel, the ice and this winter are dancing in freeze-thaw waltzes... polar bears...just wow.
