Pain stirs flesh awake,
Springlight wakes the sleeping earth.
Cold sighs, life fades past.
Spring over the burgh
Golfers swing across the fields —
Smiles glow in warm light.

The sun breaks the clouds,
Its warm light will heal the soul —
A smile will arise.

The Heart's Refrain
malinkee Mar 26
I stand unsure of wrong or right,
As joy drifts further out of sight.
What once brought peace now fades away,
In tangled knots that cloud the day.

Though roses bloom with sweet perfume,
Their scent can't lift this shaded gloom.
I wish the sun would light the way,
To songs once lost in yesterday.

No tears, no heartache, nor despair,
Just light to cleanse the heavy air.
And love will warm as hope draws near,
With joy that shines serene and clear.

Once a daisy stood,
spring’s rays kissed the earth with light,
lotus now blooms bright.

Chimney glows with doubt,
wind sweeps through the open door,
life or death—depends.

icicle tears fall,
doubt clouds dim once-sunny hearts—
promise parts the dreich.

A young and strong kite
on a mission through fields bright,
a pull—the journey ends.

a grey cloud terror,
heaven made of fluffy clouds;
a smile appears.

One heart for couple,
Frozen mist leads the storm;
Fire fights the frost.

A yellow leaf falls -
a chief leads the battalion;
in time, the ending road.

Sliced sworded soulmate -
shadows of stormy loneliness;
heart full of hope still.
