It is cold today
I have lived my life alone
come out of the cave
come out into sun
come out of the cold of loss
come out into life
Cold

For a Friend
searching for your home
you look at many houses
while all the time
your true home lies within
rebuild the home inside you
carry your true home
inside your own heart
your body houses
your heart, mind, soul and spirit
be a sanctuary
for love
Searching for the Light
having the courage to stand
in the cold and the wind
creates great beauty
trying and trying
to create meaning in life
a worthwhile effort
will I be able
to face the uncertainty,
the courage to let it be?
searching for the light
getting simpler and simpler
I find my true self

the morning dew refreshes
the beauty of dawn
Stark Beauty

stark beauty enthralls
a white winter wonderland
God draws black on white
A Sliver of Moon

a sliver of moon
a streak of light in the night
visions of beauty
Love Haiku
I hear you breathing
soft and still or loud and strong
you live next to me
accept what you can
redemption is far away
love is here tonight
tonight is the time
to hope for tomorrow’s light
to clear heaven’s path
raining harder now
washing away our past sins
fresh will be the air
let go of today
let us wait for tomorrow
to heal our sorrow
I write while you dream
of rainbows in the dark sky
that shine light on love
Shoveling Snow
crunch squeak crunch squeak crunch
shovel down up and over
snow clouds in my face
Stillness
lovely stillness now
day and night of deep snowfall
time to go to bed
Deep and Long
white fluffy snowfall
deep and long the day proceeds
peaceful the dark night
