more vivid against the snow
the shutter too slow

foraging sparrows
more vivid against the snow
the shutter too slow
sky gravid with snow
dark wings descending to seek
a place to shelter

even on dark days
beauty appears in the world
for those who would see

large snowflakes falling
blanketing everything
with peaceful silence

smoke slowly rising
with the air so thick with cold
settles in billows
