Something I wrote this morning (not edited)
With the blazing sky
Here I learn to cry
More than desperation
Joy and complication
Love on the horizon
I sit and keep my eyes on
Colours streaming through the streets
Peeking round the buildings
Ice reflecting under feet
My chin against the sill brings
Colder nose and warmer heart
Quiet in the daybreak
Laughing more than standing still
Steady in the earthquake
Touch the earth and bark
Branches climbing stark
Air across my chest
Light a welcome guest
Snow a place to find
Frozen bits of mind
Birds will come again and sing
When their time is ready
Roots already suck the secrets
Promises are heady
Dwelling in the frozen pond
Stirring with the current
This a test of life renewed
All that I have learned
