Frosted - Missoula, Montana

“All that is gold does not glitter, 
 

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.”

The Soughing Wind

Some leaves hang late, some fall

before the first frost -- so goes

the tale of winter branches and old bones.

“Swathed round in mist and crown'd with cloud…

Caught up into the heavens and clasped

In white ethereal arms …”
