winter silhouettes
a copse of sailboat masts cut
from the dawning sky
Snow
Crystals born of dust
Falling from the firmament
Alight on my tongue
Cold
Winter’s minion howls
It’s frigid moonlight keening
Rends the mind and soul
Promise
Midnight’s lustrous moon
Bears witness to the promise
Of the newborn year.
Copse
Winter’s trees stand watch
Their last recalcitrant leaves
Heralding the spring
Nightlife
In a basement bar
Listening to live music
With my lovely wife
Freedom
Unburdened release
Fetters of my own design
Finally unlocked
Fall
The voice of autumn
Whispers from the swirl of leaves
Carried on the breeze
Atonement
If I’ve done you wrong
If I’ve caused you grief or pain
I beg forgiveness.
