Closing out the year
Another cycle ends
Weather juxtaposed
Last year’s snow
Winter’s dread
Seasons pay no heed to dates
Carving up the calendar
Each claiming their own stake
Monthly Archives: December 2022
Darkened hours before the light
Sun surfacing slowly
Winter nights draw on
Cold heart
Cold hands and feet
Rise in the morning
Mistake it for dusk
Back to bed
Going back to sleep
Deep thoughts
Deeply troubled
Steep grade, precipice
Subverted and subdued
Perceived extremist
Contradictions in truth
Pain on the surface
Something hidden out of view
Perhaps a ghost, only visiting.
A mystery then. Quiet beauty and inner worlds.
She, lost in thought
I, lost in her.
Was it nothing?
A miscommunication?
Curiosity, or just simple fascination?
I can’t be sure.
A sense of words unspoken.
Burdened with the weight of years.
