Midnight above us
Asking my lover once more:
Tell me who I am
Cold winter stillness
Blues and whites under night skies
Quiets a wild heart
Under cedar boughs
How long can I continue
Half living, half dead
Sunrise not yet here
Moon asks if they’ll die with me
Secret words hidden
Tide under high moon
In a flash of renewed need
Metaphors appear
Moon across sky
I look down surprised to see
I wrote love again
Winter returning
Falling through the world to split
Open on frozen ground
Autumn wind brings chill
Is that beast that haunts me more
Hungry or lonely
Night sky as always
Will I awaken relieved
To be breathing still
Autumn leaves drifting:
Longing to see them return
Friend’s homecoming nigh
Silence pervasive:
Battlefield spread before me
Sunrise glints sharply
Quiet return drive
Dark cool evening brings with it
Surge my eyes ignore
Drifting untethered:
Appearing as morning sun
Friendship most needed
