crushed beneath the snow ~

a chill runs deep
as does my love
who
will understand
for every path
another was to claim

years of waiting
worried sick
the sky was soon
to fall
reason come –
carried by
the light

there are rivers
crushed
beneath the snow
tears
I thought were dried
– no way to prove
the way to home
was you

. . .

most of all ~

the fields
blown whiter now
than first with winter squall
I wonder how they miss us here –
do they miss us
most of all

when evergreen
their branches brush
against an endless night
do they know
how hard the coming back
to a place within the light

an ancient star
once wished upon
when held beneath a worried chill
I wonder how it is
I knew –
how I would miss you
still

. . .

all we’ve forgotten to be ~

sleigh bells
and whispers
of Christmases past
who I was then
but a sigh barely heard
ribbons and snowfall
a sweet welcome in
moments together
a song
without words –

though time has a way
of deciding our truth
love keeps all
we’ve forgotten to be –
a place of beginning
carries us still
as a candle burns long
in the heart’s
memory
