You know what
truly aches in me?
Having so much
inside my head
and not having the
   slightest clue
on how to pour
         it out.
                                                                                               Jon York   2019

You were
One of a kind
If you don’t
Mind
Let me close
My eyes
And dream
It was so...

Freezing
Outside
Keep your
Warmth
Hold it
Keep it close
Don’t forget to
Smile
Don’t forget to
Turn on the
Heater
Sometimes

The rush of rain
Wind creates
Its own land
The atmosphere fragile
With unspoken things
Of daily life
The earth still sings
What’s the truth
What’s a lie
Each day we
Cope with it
Learning to
Find love &
Shelter
In the storm

Passive resistance.
With words against tyranny.
Beacon of courage.
