waking to white falling
cold flakes
white & each unique

weariness plucks at my
heart
another day?

another way?

serene beauty
balm to a restless
soul

what are we here for?
is there ever an answer
that will stay?

questions
shifting & changing
answers too.

motion & stillness
happy & sad
love & hate

only mother nature
feeds the soul
these days.

drawing back
drawing away
from the illusory play.

deep winter
don't leave me yet...
it has been too short.

i need such deep rest.

lingering in her dark
womb
resting

mother nature,
don't hurry
the sunlight.

plants asleep under
the ground
i sleep with you.

alone and still
peace
reigns

so many wish
for spring
me...

i'll stay here
in winter
again & again....

cold cold  night

how i love you

nothing more

but that
i said

duality isn't what it seems
the illusion tricking
one

drawing one in
what is real
what is the delusion

pulled back and
forth

how am i to tell?

tears fall
pain sears

is this really it?

nah...

quiet time
spent alone

reality
raises itself

silly silly you
did you really
fall for that

all over again???

don't stop laughing
it is all happening
again & again

a sliver of a moon
hangs low
on a cold winter
night

velvety black
encircling
world

Orion bright
high
tonight

crisp & cold
sharp & clear
fresh & new

how sweet
it
appears

time lost
moments gone
no more memories

maybe a song

sharp barks ring
out
for what is there

or what is here

deep silence
deep stillness
deep solitude

how you have
been missed
so very so

dear moon
you grow each
night

you a sliver
barely
tonight

patient & long
every month
you play your song

each moment
moving on

letting go
like melting snow

no memories
no expectations

simply here
as it is

no resistance
no force

flowing along
never the same water

never the same river

dancing with the light
sparkling and bright

ebbing and flowing
eternally blowing

diving deep within
quiet and dark

silent and peaceful

over and over and over......
