Landscapes

Storm clouds overtake
What remnant of light remains
A calm settles in

Gusty—
Deciduous trees swaying
Almost in parts

Oh to sail away
Escape the daily struggles
And be at peace

An old knotty pine
Overlooking a still peace
Carp--bobbing for bugs

Distant firs tint hills
The sun stays then disappears
A raw wonderland

Lakes and mountains abound
Sleet, hail, rain
Winter in Seattle
