I walk between the gnarled, snow-weighted boughs
Seeking for but the smallest bit of green
Tag: iambic meter
1/24/2024 – forest
Look for me out upon the trail
Where greenest mosses thrive
Out where in every small detail
A thousand small things live
1/19/2024 – ever wanting
I find myself e’er wanting of
The things I do not have
Yet never conscious of the lack
That still would fill my heart
1/17/2024 – snow
Hurrah for northern winds and for the quieting, white snow
That there upon each branch and leaf makes all an artful show
1/13/2024 – what I want to hear
Have ever I seen, there upon the bright horizon line
More than what I expected, more than my desiréd sign?
1/12/2024 – a better me
I can but be what I’ve in me to be
And yet such promise can feel unfulfilled
If I cannot listen when I am stilled
To that which could make me a better me
1/10/2024 – whispers along Time
I was bewitched beneath the starry sky
By all the ancient stories reaching me
From places so unfathomably high
Their whispers along Time are all we see
1/6/2024 – wishing
To wish upon a distant star
Is wishing back in time
1/2/2024 – New Year
As at the dawn we see the rising sun
O’er new horizons we could not foresee
But to that brightest orb we must now run
We cannot merely wait for what will be
12/29/2023 – kings and fools
I ache for all the times and places where
The world is not so fast, not so cruel
Where I could breathe the pure and untouched air
The earth not yet undone by kings and fools
