A thousand yearnings



The snow has found us once again,
Setting down it's ghostly countenance as a silent wayfarer.

Tiny flakes gather on the backs and ears of my nighttime visitors,
Long legs holding trim bellies above deep snow.

A knowing calm hides their distress,
As the night conceals a thousand yearnings, theirs and mine.

Denials Plight



In my mind
The night is long

The papers white
My ink upon

The sounds are mine
The tea is strong

Cast words as lots
The clock ticks on

Denials plight
Askance my song

A distant hum
Awakes with dawn

With passing night
My world is gone
