WinterCabin — where the stars sleep beneath the northern lights

Winter / Fall

← The Lady Alaska

He seats himself upon the land
And waves an icy finger.
Earth's mantled cloak of snow and cold
Has just begun to linger. 14

Collage: winter in Alaska, beautiful mountains, ice and snow.
Autumn leaves in Alaska.

With quickened days and falling leaves,
Jack Frost bites the gentle breeze. 9

The Autumn Prince is bright and bold,
He paints the mountains brown and gold.
His artistry, done in many shades,
Prepares for Winter, as Summer fades. 10

Majestic Alaskan mountains above the road.
Alaska at its best: Donna's log cabin home.

Though humble cabin it may be
Of logs, hand-peeled by knife,
No nobler place on earth compares -
It's home...and heart...and life. 11

Her throne...a valley and mountains, still,
Draped with gold, a silent thrill. 12

A spectacular winter sunset flares through the trees.
Frost and snow on the trees.

Hushed and still, snow covers the earth
In feather-like blanket of down,
Draping trees in velvet glow
Like crystals on a gown. 13

My heart beats to moonlit snow
And frost is softly falling.
With thoughts of you, my heart is filled;
The moon is gently calling. 15

The winter moon over frosted trees.
The aurora borealis, the northern lights, dancing like spirits of the North.

I lived, my soul so radiant...
My happiness unbounded...
I swam in liquid sunshine...
I marvel still, astounded. 16

Think of me as I kiss the wind...
And I'll meet you at the river's end. 17

Winter wind sweeping snow from a mountain.
Maroon and green northern lights in the Alaskan sky.

Are we spirits of another star,
Scattered cosmic dust, supernal-
A timeless continuum
Bonded, infinitely eternal? 18

But now whene'er the moon
Blossoms full and bright,
My thoughts turn to you...
As they do...tonight. 19

The moon sets, reflected in still water.
Red and green northern lights above a log cabin.

So I'll leave the lamplight burning, love,
Above the cabin door
And in my heart the lovelight shines...
Amour, amour, amour. 20
