The oak is wearing
its soft winter coat of moss
and scarf of lichen.
*****
Willow, word that weeps,
but here lithe and eager reach :
pupil of the oak.
*****
The fence taken down,
so the Waun invites us on,
past open-mouthed stream.
*****
Stray jay in winter
searching for buried acorns :
feathers bloom, bird-flower.
*****
Willow colour-change :
the weather and light mingle
like moor and water.
