The trees shed
Bark like I
Shed lies here
I am stuck
Here I am
Against cold January
Skies ashen with
Soot of snowfall
Drop on me
These blessing snowflakes
So I might
Just remember spring
Category: Morning
Shell
Lost I drift
Bumping into others
I have discovered
Comfort in myself
Absent of them
Alone and quiet
At long last
I can hear
The ocean again
In the shell
Against my ear
Knowing that life
Is in there
Just with me
Silence
It seems I’ve
Lost inspiration my
Mind is numb
As though the
Line went dead
Hello hello are
You still there
They will return
Like gaggles flying
Overhead above the
Marshes and wetlands
Honking we’re here
We’ve come back
Landing with splashes
On these pages
GoodMorning
Early morning birdsong
Tickle my ears
Dawn yet to
Break songs from
Afar and near
Those in skeletal
Trees and you
Beside me which
Is sweeter I
Wonder those tweets
Or your sleepy
Soft good mornings
HappyNewYear (to You)
And so I
Start the year
New single alone
A place of
Focus and strength
Rebirth and humility
Humanity and compassion
Hope and love
I know that
This year will
Be a better
Year than before
Because you’re all
Still in it
Happy New Year
