December

Silver haired, the year rests in the field. Crows gather on the sycamore bones. The day is like glass. Winter lurks in the shadows. In brittle glades, papery pods protect the last seeds. Spiky coneflowers stand tall; the goldfinches had their harvest. Everywhere signs of a cycle fulfilled. December 24, 2017
