Winter's Unseen Hues

Winter’s Unseen Hues

Winter, so often deemed

grey and barren,

But walk in the hills

of the shrub-steppe;

See the red branches

of the saskatoon berry;

Step across the green 

mats of moss;

Brush your coat

along the pale green of sage;

Stand on ancient boulders

covered in differing hues of lichens;

Listen for the song of 

sagebrush sparrows

in the dark green 

of the tall bitterbrush;

Winter, so now delights,

always living.

Winter is not dull: the colors of the shrub-steppe in winter

Winter’s perceived greyness transforms into a colorful and poetic experience on the shrub-steppe of eastern Washington
