Gray Rainy and All About Trees




Today

'Gray Rainy' has come
to dwell in these woods;
in Wet Slippery Land
I now live...
The quiet gray
holds me still
and stiller.
I resort to
to music and to song
to carry my lighter heart along
on gray days.

  2. Talon...thank you for your kind words. We haven't yet had snow of more than one inch; it has started raining but is supposed to get colder still. Have a truly GREAT day...and I always wonder..."What are you working on?"
