Here sitting
and gazing
at the
highest peaks
as dawn
quietly kisses
their snow
I don’t
feel cold
but warm
knowing that
like your
smile brightens
me this
sun also
brightens them
and this
is where
I live
my life
Category: Morning
Sip
There’s just
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love
MiseryClouds
The clouds today
are like tufting
laid out lengthwise
on a table
one after another
like the corpses
of fallen warriors
on and on
as far as
the eye sees
this morning’s clouds
herald a misery
not only seen
but silently felt
for anyone knowing
them this way
EarlyDenverSnow
A blizzard in October
it is unheard of
and I grew up
in the north Wisconsin
to be exact where
we know our snow
but here in Denver
we’re a mile higher
and I do suppose
that much closer to
angels when they molt
causing it to snow
here whereas lower down
others will see rain
thinking that its tears
when we here know
it’s a little piece
of Heaven this snow
brief as it is
Drifts
Sitting here with coffee
gazing at nights snowfall
I now hear the
growl of the snowplows
piling snow into corners
like security guards keeping
fans and morbid onlookers
from stars and accidents
and like I did
when I piled your
things at the door
after I found those
texts on your phone
