From silence grows music
From death grows life
From nothing grows all

2/15/21 – snowflakes
Falling from on high
Spinning in eddies of wind
Stunning
Perfect
Constructed with utmost care
Gone in a moment
Light to dark
Light to dark
It happens so quickly sometimes
Each day flowing to the next
Never slowing
Never halting
No time for a breath
2/10/2021 – green
Though diamonds coat the ground
I often dream of green
2/9/21 – Drums
The trees, the strings
The wind, the horns
The birds, the flutes
My heart, the drums
Heroes on a page
Smells of ink and paper
Filling up my senses
Stories full of heroes
Fantasies and legends
Sounds of distant battles
Rage upon my eardrums
Heroes’ hellish horrors
Play across the pages
Yet there is a freedom
Hiding in these epics
Simpleness can be found
If you know to look.
Sunrise
Wide and bright
Just the right
Color, the sky’s filled
Puffy clouds build
Paint the world
Colors unfurled
At the farthest edges of the sky
My spirit lifts high
Rhyming ‘ough’
I often cough
The whole day through
And even though
It can be tough
I’ll climb a bough
(Its bark, so rough!)
And look out on the snough snow
Cuppa
When thoughts race, wild, in your mind
When a hundred things at once implode
When naught can calm your jumpy nerves
When pain bleeds down and tightens your chest
May I suggest
A cup of tea and a bit of rest
Peace of the heart
When your heart can rest
In knowledge that it is safe, no matter what comes
In knowledge that it is cared for
In knowledge that another gently cups it in their hands
And in knowledge that that other will never forsake it
That is peace
