#hibernate
Northern wind sings buds
to snooze— a slumber where dreams
of summer stew warm.

I said
I have to hibernate
Before I shed this skin of mine
And she said
I know
It’s your greatest strength
And that made all the difference

mittened hands wrapped
around hot choc mugs
light-hearted bickering
over the tones and shades
of leaves yet to fall
chilly sun-streaked mornings
of fresh earthy air
and early hibernation nights
of gathered quietude
that indulgent autumn
for which she longed
seemed not to arrive
at least not as expected
set to follow the bright
bustling summer excitement
always written to precede
the forward-looking days
of winter's introspection
ordained as it was
by the dictums of old
those of time and tide
instead her blooming
has been a wearisome
back-and-forth between
the extremes of each
untimely and unexpected
yet unfortunately necessary
before she might witness
those flowers of hers
blossoming under
the warmth and light
of that newly shining Sun

primal cave
warm
coals glow
in an iron grate
dream lives flicker
in dancing flames
hatches battened
around the ramparts
of terraced council home
droplets run
on window panes
coursing rivers
to the sea
we are alone
suspended natural animation
with only ourselves
to blame

The slapping second hand wakes
to the mute, orange-dark room
of a life again crepuscular,
commutes before dawn, after dusk
and the yearn for vitamin D
become the norm
in the near distance
supermarket music tickles
glitter and tinsel
the bright idiocy of Yuletide
before the treacle dark inside

Porous holes in stone
pull me in, Ill call you home
tucked into mountains
_____
Rooted in the grass
Electric communication
back & forth swayed waves

To forgive the unforgivable
To carry on as if nothing's wrong
Though you have too much on your mind
And a mountain on each shoulder
To push through the storm
Because you know the calm is waiting
Like a creature of nature who hibernates during the long and cold winter months
Until the warmth of the sun is felt
The ice slowly decays
Invisibly cocoon yourself from all that is around you
And know that better is to come
Better is on its way
Pay no attention to the shadows
For that is what they are ... Mere shadows
The more you look at them ... The taller they grow
Cast luminosity and it shall terminate their existence
For the dark can not exist in the light
But the light of Love will banish all darkness

A reminder -
It is still winter,
We are still in the thick of it,
Chains and snowshoes
are still requisite,
Imbolc and Candlemas
are still to pass,
Groundhogs hibernate,
Tarns still as glass,
The tumbling finch song
has yet to be sung,
and even the false spring,
has not yet sprung.
So lie still a while longer,
Let the chill freeze you through,
Warmer days will return
in their own time,
And so will you.

neither very social
nor I'm vocal
silent screamer
a lonely dreamer
neither a mood swing
nor in a bing
don't mind
if you don't find
as I'm in my cocoon
may be back soon
but for a while
let me hibernate in my style
not a saint
just complacent
ridicule not, I'm not a clown
on a journey unknown.... my own
deep ponderer
solo wanderer
not a wayward
just traveling inward
judge me not O dear!
for you I'm there
but let me be insignificant
an abstinent.....

Feeling astrayed
Freshly betrayed
Emotions cascade
Just no word
Going absurd
Visions blurred
No remembrance
Just a present tense
Let me be in silence
To contemplate
To hibernate
To liberate
Wanna be autonomous
Wanna go unconscious
Wanna be anonymous

It's the season of aching
For something that I can never quite find a name for
The hint of warmth in midst the frozen air
God,
I still can't find it
*And that's why my heart hibernates
through the winter*

Summer time has come at last
Spring is gone
And I'm alone
Wake me up
When it's September
Here I am so Innocent
But the Innocent
They never rest
Don't wake me up
If all I have is gone
It's like I've met
My own demise
The end at last is here
I can live with my demons
But those angels
Are the ones I dread
Wake me up
If heaven isn't real
I've worked so hard
For so long
To be the best
In what I do
But all I do
Never seems enough
Now at last
I go to rest
Hoping that
It's just a dream
Don't wake me up
Till September comes

When I hear your voice
The flowers come into bloom
And sing a spring song
When your echo fades
The snow settles on my heart
And I hibernate
