Eager

We grow eager
as the earth passes
the tipping point
where daylight
is finally winning
Eager 
for more days
under blue skies
sloshing in 
rapidly expanding puddles
and losing our hats
and mittens
because 
we hid them 
in our pockets
Eager
for more of 
Lady Sun
for still-impossible
Spring

Light


The moments seem
less heavy
my heart 
more inclined to
linger
when the clouds part
and you smile
through them
Lady Sun

Unplug


When the world
is too weighty
to hold
in the palm of your hand
and its beauty
too enormous
for the pinhole eye
of your camera
Only
seeing
stillness
and
silence
will
sooth

Snowrise



Caught
in a swirling
snowglobe
I want 
to just
sit still
and dream

Reunion


You return
clothed in flame
and rose gold
Lady sun
I have not
taken you for granted
not one dark morning
or heavy afternoon
has gone by
when I did not note
your absence
Now I'm counting
moments until
our next
reunion
