1. Mångata
shimmering night cadence
skipping across a frozen plateau
Mångata reverie
2. Autumn’s Play
leaf-whistles
needles oscillate
psithuric wind song
trees shimmer
deeply yawning
anticipation stirs
aureate
honeyed, tawny, burnt
Autumn's play
3. soulful
a soulful tune
summer's harmony in sync
cicadas sing.
4. psithuric whisper
psithuric whispers
a wooed heart-
her breath catches
rimes - rapid freezing of water vapors

5. Oneiric trails
ice feathers
scrape the sky
dancing while tomorrow
sleeps
beneath your pillow,
wonder waits
6. Crepuscular Moment
burnishing glow
the Cold Moon kneels
terrestrial kiss
7. Winter’s Deep Sleep
moonbeams prance
atop the subnivean zone,
a gentle nightlight
winter's shield
snow blanket or hoarfrost,
what holds, what rimes,what fails, or what thins
silence broken
predatory footfalls
winter creaks
relentless onslaught
of graupel, freeze and thaw-
precarious
safely tucked
in the between, nestled deep,
all sleep
Nature’s Fury
blissed ignorance
twirling in the wind
a prelude
whispered chaos
distance rumbles
sirens forewarn
impending danger
thunderous clouds clash
hook echo forms
wrapped winds,
dark tornadoes swirl,
March roars
nature’s fury
in the eyes of the beholder-
watch
