The morning with it brings
New hope
New promise
New, brighter sunlight
As the dark of night recedes
And the grief of yesteryear
Dims
The horizon is bright
It is unknown
Uncertain
Unmeasurable
But bright

As my heart flutters with remembered hurt
And so my eyes recall the curséd scene
My body lights with energy, alert
I am not where I am, but where I’ve been
12/29/2021
Why, when the sun is gone
And the world quiets
And the shadows
Take over
Does my heart slow
My breath soften
To be at last
In your arms?

To walk through quiet air and cool, soft snow
And hold you close to keep the cold away
To see the far horizon and just go
With you beneath the light of winter’s day
12/25/2021 – snowy morning
I woke beside my slowly-breathing love
And out the window spied the falling snow
The skies were grey and dreary up above
The floors were cold and creaky down below
But then I threw a log onto the fire
And sang a merry tune with loved ones near
And what a morning glad should then transpire
To push away all sadness, hate, and fear
12/23/2021 – waking
And in the morning
I will wake
And all that had nestled
In the dark corners of my mind
Will have retreated
For a moment
12/22/2021 – dreaming
Ah, but to look
Out the window
And see
The bright horizons
I have imagined
All my life
12/20/2021
To sally forth and face the foes
That morning with it brings
Might end the series of deep lows
’bout which this poet sings
12/17/2021
I cannot wait, I cannot bear
The distance ‘twixt our hearts
The thousand miles of windy air
Reduces me to parts
But soon I know you will return
And all be set aright
And all within me once more burn
For you this blessed night
12/16/2021
A ship without sail
A beach without waves
A tree without root
A man without his heart
Such am I, till your return
