The fireplace crackles ‘gainst the new spring chill
And hot smoke billows up into the clouds
Betwixt the cold and heat I say a prayer
For fickle sun to burst the cloudy grey

There was a night some years ago
When I looked out to see
A ship sailing by my window
And calling out to me
To sail amongst the twinkling stars
Above the well-trod ground
Alas that waking often mars
A sweet dream as it’s found

With a broken heart
And with my scars you found me
Loved me all the same

Quiet do the leaves fall
Soft comes the snow
Breathless does the grey come
And hide away the sun
And though the winter’s quiet
Is deafening
It is not nearly so much
As the resounding orchestra
Of spring

Some long while has passed
Since last the whispering wind
Muttered in my ear
Telling secrets
Granting wisdom
And I often wonder
If in my silence
I am not listening

Why does the crumbling earth cry out
If not for to be saved?
4/14/2022 – a haiku
The rains came again
And spilled on leafing lilies
That promise to bloom

They say look not to words
But to deeds
Yet look what words can do

It was in cold December that I wept
In longing for the sun’s distant return
Yet now it seems that through the grey I slept;
I wish in winter I could more than yearn
4/11/2022 – a haiku
I sought the sunrise
And found grey obscuring it
So I learned to fly
