A new day a new haiku

Stack, rack, pile and pack Teeter totter tumble down Winter wood we found
Snowflakes twirl and glide A graceful gentle descent How is water white?
Am I the whisper? The murmur in the darkness? A wolf in the night?
Can I hide behind Between the corners and lines On the darker side
I know every log I can tell you their stories And where they come from
This is this year’s wood Which could and would be good wood Next to next year’s wood
Let the sunshine in Driving the moisture away And turning you grey
Perpetual fog Hangs low around our shoulders Summoning the gloam
Under snowy sheets Tucked up tight ’til tomorrow We stay warm inside
If you trip or slip If you tumble or stumble Or fall I’ll catch you
Now the wood is dry Fill every crack and corner Against the winter
Each successful slice Surrenders strange sounds and smells Such satisfaction
