white corals around
landscapes sparkle in pure white ---
adder snakes creep on creepers
white furs and sponges
ornament the environs ---
white fox innocently blinks

She sat among the ice crystals stroking the white fox’s fur.
He was completely still, quiet. He seemed to like her touch.
We were afraid to get closer, we did not want to spook him.
They are marvelous, someone said. The snow queen.
I was thinking this also. They were crisp and clean like new snow.
There was a peacefulness here we rarely see anywhere else.
Alaska is the ultimate place to see marvelous wild life someone said.
I did not know if they meant the white fox or the snow queen.
Mayhaps both.
flash of a white fox tail
tiny itsy bitsy red lady bug
yellow dots barely showing
walnuts, acorns, mushrooms
the fey must be cheering
the woods bring a natural silence
opens to a meadow of wild flowers
queen anne’s lace in delicate white
purple asters with yellow centers
cattails next to the pond
straight as soldiers
splash of a frog
deep hoarse cough in the brush
flash of a deer’s black tail
my breathing changes
nature is my healing place
I sit in the grass
feeling the faeries watching
oooh a hoot owl
in the day time?
could anything be better?
