falling rain not freezing
flowers bloom prematurely
cows kneeling on the ground;
trees limbs without leaves
stand in silent speculation,
tiny birds appear and
from a distance a dead
forest appears to be alive;
movements of uncertainty
fade with the rising sun
turning dark into light
like European painters;
squeals scream through the air
nature's electric current of sound
replacing musty odors of silence
in a forgotten valley of time;
cool today but not chilly
as if it were not that windy.
