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
The moments seem
less heavy
my heart
more inclined to
linger
when the clouds part
and you smile
through them
Lady Sun
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
Caught
in a swirling
snowglobe
I want
to just
sit still
and dream
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
For a moment
I felt you at my shoulder
Lady Sun
The world brightened
and a hint of blue
almost broke through
I turned to greet you
and you
slipped away
With eyes shut
winter's wind
becomes
winter's ocean
storm-driven
rolling
roaring
scuplting
snow dunes
into frozen
waves
