I hear a whisper hiding in my mind
A quiet flick’ring seed of an idea
If only I could manage, now, to find
That which the seed would need to come to be

Hoary frost coats the grasses
And a chill air bites my nose
But to see the roses bloom in your cheeks
Brings warmth to my heart

Horizons beckon
Their light a brilliant promise
Of days yet to come

And people of the court
But those for whom the poet sings
Are not of great import

What have I seen that speaks to me
From mem’ry’s crowded mouth?
Eliciting a fierce response
That quickens through my chest?
11/5/2021 – a haiku
The sun rises high
But the shadows ne’er recede
Instead, e’er they shift

If the ground beneath us
Spoke
What would it say?

What truths does the earth hold?
What bounties of tales and epics
What scars from battles long forgotten
What heartbreak, what joy?
11/2/2021 – a haiku
The wind’s roar deadens
While animals hide away
And the sky darkens

In dreams there is a peaceful world
A quiet world
Where the heart slows
Where my mind lives free
Of the shadows that crowd my eyes
When they are open
