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
1/11/2022 – a haiku
Some days vibrate strong
In harmony with a past
That is not yet gone
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
1/7/2022 – a haiku
I am like to skies
Within me lie countless lights
So close, and yet far
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?
1/4/2022 – a haiku
The stars grow brighter
As the world around me fades
And the sky beckons
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
