Wherefore does the wind blow so
And where does it blow to?

This morning, there was
A swift sunrise
A brisk breeze
And skies blue as the seas
Leastways
For me
1/14/2022
At last the horizon beckons
And landfall awaits
A white shore
And high mountains
At long last, in view
1/13/2022
With breath that joins, like clouds, the frigid air
My cheeks are roses, frozen red until
I reach the hearth; such life awaits me there
Where I at last escape the winter’s chill
1/12/2021
Today
I have but one wish
That I might soar
1/10/2022 – heed the call
Awaken, o my heart
To fiery calls of brass
To all that lies before me
That I might face it well
1/8/2022
The earth shakes
As memory trembles
And histories resonate
And all the steps upon the earth
That have ever been taken
Are at once forgotten
And never gone
1/6/2022
With little left of laughter my tears fall
Upon the brittle seeds in winter’s vise
And freeze amidst the grass, no longer tall
But cool and brown–
–the temper of the wise
1/5/2022
Such sights have I seen
Such wondrous places
Such wondrous peoples
Why should I remain
Here?
1/3/2022
I woke from a dream so deep
I believed myself elsewhere
Elsetime
That the coming of the day
Brought not expected pain
But warmth
And comfort
Alas that I awoke
