A Poem ... Winter Night

Winter Night 

Summer Rose

Fast asleep
Snow gathers
Cold and deep

Frozen earth

Granite hard
Hidden life
Leafy yard

Solid walls

Safe and warm
Sheltered from
Winter storm

Fireplace flame

Orange light
Laughter fills
Winter night

A Poem ... Beautiful Soul

Beautiful Soul

Morning dew

  Shimmering bright

Petals stretch

  Drink the light

Natural splendor

  Out of dust

Love Incarnate

  Sans the lust

Like the flower

  Ultimate goal

Smile for me

  Beautiful soul

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.

A Poem ... As We Mourn

As We Mourn

A lonely lake
A frozen shore
Memories lost
In forgotten yore

Echoes drift
In empty space
Splendor fades
Abandoned place

Lonely soul
Winter born
Sings alone
As we mourn
