After a week of ice
The flash of a kingfisher
Along the moorings.

The spark of hope
Is kingfisher blue.

Looks like we’ll have a bit of sun today. 🎉
Have a superb Sunday!

A winter evening vignette. Delicate leaves droop on icy branches in a quiet woodland.

Close-up of a burning bush (Euonymus alatus) fruit in autumn, showing a dark purplish-brown capsule split open to reveal a bright red seed hanging from a thin green stem against a softly blurred background

metropolitan fox
dreams, nestled deep
down in his borough
running free
through a moonlit forest
flocked with snow

Maybe You might be someone's North Star she said casually you don't know. You might be the one fixed point; the only axis in the dizzied wheel of night, guide to a riverbank that leads north — a chalk arrow to the road that crosses silently into freedom. You might let fall a word, a note, a spark flung down the sky that makes a poem to be a doorway, a hymn to be a waypost or a map. You might be someone's North Star. You don't know. ~ L.C. Goodwin

a mirror reflected see to wear your heart on your sleeve giving it all away isn’t that what they say well they certainly saw you for is it not their adumbrations that delineate you that arrest your outward flow that send your stationary waves slap back against your home quay walls for your ship has docked you once more

So many trees cut
Down in the ice crusted ground
Roots grow from my heart
