I've left footsteps
And breadcrumb for you
Should you find me
Please return me to myself
For the path and the terrain
Becomes more unfamiliar
And difficult to walk
-on aging

You could be my lungs
For you give me breath.

You could be my heart
Because it beats for you.

You were already in my head,
Now you are in the heart
Within my chest.

Our hearts were thumping,
Adrenaline pumping, time racing.
And we knew, we just knew.
We knew there was something
Miraculous, magical happening.

In the dense misty forest shade
We had lain with evening falling,
My head on your cradling arm,
Peeking through canopy leaves.

As a heavy dusk covered us both
We had lain on into the night
While watching the stars rise
And night clouds rolling by
Clinging to each other with deep sighs.

Their eyes
Are glazed over
With their hate,
Thick scales formed.

The voice of reason
Becomes hoarse
Stripped raw
From strain

As sanity died.

It’ll soon be gone.
But don’t get me wrong
I am so very thankful for
The wondrous memories made.

And grateful for the beauty
And at seeing children play
In a world suddenly pure
Under snow’s blanket

Of wintery-white.

Inside a warm domicile
Cover up, hunker down.
Stay awhile, don't venture out
For the great black cloud
With an icy fist will come
To steal the sun for everyone
I am waiting on the Great Texas Freeze, part II.  In 2021 I went around 4 days without electricity in below-freezing temperatures.  246 people died due to that arctic front making its way across the country.  I sure hope that Texas can keep the lights on this time!

Du coeur je demande:
Of the heart, I ask
"Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas chez toi:
What is wrong with you?

Du als Objekt:
I asked you a question.
Du als Reflexivpronomen:
"Why aren’t you looking
at yourselves in the mirror?"
Pourquoi ne vous
regardez-vous pas dans le miroir?

"Vous n'avez pas l'air bien!"
You do not look well!
Du mit einem Nomen: "You idiot!"
"Les malades du cœur"
The sick heart,

"Ce cœur, notre cœur"
This heart, our heart,
de la regarder:
Look at it,
mon Coeur: my love.
