Breathe

Silver moonlight ghosts
over your sleeping profile
as I breathe you in.

Change

Even standing stones
change colour and form over time
to hide in plain sight.

The wait

Eaves drip melt-water
onto Morse code ice-crystals -
my eyes grow weary.

The Wanderer

Tracks in fresh powder
reveal your wanderer's path -
a full circle forms.

The wait

Seconds pass like ants -
they grow to beetles and lions.
She is worth the wait.

Reprise

A brittle wind snaps
at flags and colourful scarves -
the honeymoon dies

Help

Not here and not there -
taking the time for granted.
Your silence screams HELP!

Reality

The rear-view mirror
reveals shards of reality
on our open road

Lost

The calendar burns
and sleep slinks by on tiptoes
when a child is lost

Finally

Words wrestle and writhe
I whistle an unknown tune
I have found my peace

Clocks

Words swirl as dry leaves
when all that can be heard is
the ticking of clocks.

Snowfall

Behold the firelight.
Silhouettes of quiet souls
wait out the snowfall
