Life unsuspecting– Silent. Invisible. It sets the world on fire.

The woods sleep with snow My ears listen for spring birds, My eyes long for you As I sit by the window Wishing you could come again

Snowflakes big as coins soggy, sullen, sorrowful Tulips will soon bloom.

Monochromatic color splayed like a smudge on the horizon.  A cardinal flits across my view. A bright red fleck in snow.

You are a treasure, Don’t sell your golden heart to The wrong jeweler  

My husband is gone, Sealed himself up, cocooning Any love, affection Like I’ll live in a desert Then never ask for the rain.

When  recognition turns to roiling rage, and its flaming eyes pin you to the wall; there’s no escape. The truth has not set you free.  

Heaven makes us wait, Our deeds recorded in life, Guardian Angels Mark us with love, but humans Are often consumed with hate.

The earth was muddy, My boots let impression by Your silent summer grave, I said goodbye long ago, We departed with the sun.

Tracks made in the snow Distinct. Wind sweeps it away. Clouds curtain the light The shadows deepen until Sun warms my face and shoulders.
