Come spring
extend your hand
caress  the waiting warming land
give us singing birds on green and leafy trees
swap gale for breeze
soft light and scented air
disperse our shivering winter cares
and bless each fertile blooming day
through April and then on to May
please stay

Winter you sneaking thief
explain yourself
you stole the sun
to leave us with much colder days
depriving us of warming rays
replacing skies of white and blue
with others of a greyer hue
a world of ice
what did you do
I know the catalyst was you

Fog
Remove the waking winter sky
the stars and moon above
take them all
but leave me something
I am vulnerable to love

You can cherish a dream
but there may be other rivers
other lands in which to seed your hopes
don't turn your wishes into ropes

star above the trench
hanging in a cleaner place
that this endless war

your old winter robe
shaped only by memories
still hangs in my heart

Open a book
discover a landscape
waiting for you explore
your map is made from footsteps
where the writer walked before
