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

A Poem ... Kori

Kori

Cold gusts

Race around

Leaves blow

Across the ground

Grey clouds

Fill the sky

Heavens rumble

Start to cry

Sadness

Rests a heavy hand

No Joy

In this land

Wait, wait

She’s here at last

Her presence

Breaks the fast

Golden smile

Lights the place

Laughter fills

Every space

A Poem ... The Boy

The Boy

He listened

  As his father read

Visions filled

  His little head

Stories told

  By clever men

Life was fun

  Way back then

Adventure captured

  With simple thought

Dauntless heroes

  Villains caught

Eyes close

  Ambrosia sleep

His father watches

  And starts to weep.
