Hurrah for snowfall
And for the deadened echoes
That it brings along
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
12/18/2021 – a haiku
Sightless I had walked
Listened to any who spoke
But now I stride true
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
12/15/2021 – missing
I long for your arms
Soft and warm
Wrapped around me
I long for your presence
Bright
A wind in the air
Deadened when you are gone
I long for the way
The sky shines brighter
The world spins faster
The music plays louder
When you are beside me
So shall I pine for it
Till you return
12/14/2021 – a haiku
In the cool night air
I see you across the way
Brighter than the stars
12/13/2021 – winter sun
Though cold has come and with it dims the sun
And greens and reds have given way to grey
For every dreary day so is there one
That breaks the clouds and takes the cool away
12/11/2021 – tea, wind, hand
Calm
Fresh-brewed
Joy
Biting at your ears
Love
In your palm
12/10/2021 – a haiku
Window to the soul
Yours, deep and dark, warm and true
A soul ancient, wise
