A Poem ... Arctic Ballet

Arctic Ballet

Frozen ice

Skates so tight

Daughter filled

With mother’s light

Sunlight slips

Into night

Fingers hurt

Winter’s bite

Home’s fire

Far away

Beautiful lonely

Arctic ballet

Memories fly

Across the tears

Only months

Seems like years

A Poem ... Evergreen

Evergreen

Evergreen

Brown and dry

Whispered

Lonely cry

Night

Sleepless thief

Despondent

Overflowing grief

Memories

Drifting near

Anguished

Frozen fear

Distant

Spirit glance

Death’s

Painful dance.
