Sleep Song

Beautiful gentle 
Female rain, falling for hours,
Sings her sweet sleep song.

Cold Wind

The cold wind has died.
Silent and frozen, dreams cry,
Remembering warmth.

Lull in the storm haiku

Cold, wild wind is here. 
There is a moment of quiet, 
False lull in the storm.

Before the Storm

Finest misty rain,
Is winter's illusion of
Drifting, warm, snowflakes.

Winter Night

I swim among stars.  
Winter's ocean is black sky. 
Direction is lost.

Silence

Winter's sliver moon
Has set, leaving cold darkness.
Damp leaves are silent.

David
Is weary
So very
Weary
The Other
Saps his
Strength 
Away
While 
He waits
While hope
Dances
Around
And around 
He waits
Too weary
To dance
Too weary
For songs
For drums
For his bass
His music
Too much
Too weary
For stories
Too weary
He waits
In silence
For answers
That are
Silent 
Into
Silence
Comes 
The Wild

Who Cares

SARS-COVID-19 
Is a curse, 
And a blessing.  
A blessing, 
As it makes 
Obvious 
Who truly cares 
About others.  
A curse, 
Because it makes 
Obvious 
Who truly cares 
For others.  
And the same, 
In all personal 
Relationships.  
Que Será, Será

Roy

At night,  
When all was quiet and still, 
I watched from the darkness.
I saw the glowing 
Red light of fire, 
As the forge roared 
And sparks were shooting,
Bursting, dazzling, 
The star magic 
Of metal transmuted.  
I heard the roaring forge,
The whoosh and quenching sizzle,
Then the Mighty Hammer 
Bang BANG  
Bang BANG, 
An ancient song
Of strength and steel, 
The heartbeat of creation,
Intent and work, 
Forged and quenched and hammered,
Bang BANG,
Bang BANG. 
The shadows flow
And retract,
Flow and retract.
I watched 
From the darkness,
The Night Gifted Magician, 
Immersed in creation,
Forging swords, 
And blades, and tools;
Each carrying its own 
Particular 
Blessing of Power.

Solace

This night is dark
I am alone
Grandmother whispers
I hear silence
Her face turned away
I see her cheekbone
I see her hand moving
Ambient light
From memory
