another day, another snow

the sun the sky
the wind felt like
feathers on my skin
warm and new born
an autumn feast
of belief each leaf
a thousand thoughts
in my head
and i still remember
what you said
like it was yesterday
and i still knew
it was true
my love for you
this day the leaves
wrinkle and tinkle
colorfully a union
of breeze and trees
to dazzle me to take
and to make today
a memory of golden
clarity
halloween
i open my voice
and close my eyes
white feather black sky
no words yet i ramble
on inside
i spend the days asleep
and the nights alive
to learn night and day
shines the same way
with love for you
the view
clear through what
appears to be reality
spiritually the spirit
is realized through
mystery
those that know
only know the history
the box
we lived in the talk
we believed in the want
indeed the need to pour
our empty lives
into wonder into
thunder into never
and forever
into the crystal clear
black october sky
i ramble on
inside
watch it
the wind is not empty
and the night fills with a chill
spilling through my window
slipping between the sheets
i smile and pause in awe
tripping through my years
of tears sipping on what
each drop taught
i have no song of right
and wrong i have no cause
to fear or blame i just wish
you could be here in the bowl
of my soul to feel the warmth
of our bodies the touch of our
tongues to seam together our
dreams to live forever tonight
where can i find you when
i am alone here it comes
and there it goes i miss you
and i know it shows in my
walk in my talk is it it is
a very real feel above as below
the spirit of the wind chimes
this rhyme this time alone
dance with me
and i will dance
for you
is your love
long distance
does anyone know
how to heal
yourself
all men are holy
all women are sacred
i can hear your voice
you can hear my heart
roar in the longing
of the longest night
and smallest day
to enter winter
and greet the gray
between black and
white between today
and tomorrow through
the door on all fours
my spirit soars
dream with me
and i will dream
of you
be light of
heart warm
with shared breath
carefull of frost
walking within this
world of winter a frozen
world my chosen world
whitescape across
the fields and woods
that gang with deer
clang with geese
in the quiet choir
of the snow and wind
now gathering grays
bundled in wonder
i hear her slumber
the crunch of my
footsteps and the hush
of dusk
with a snug of my hat
that looks like that
i begin again
with winter my companion
there is peace where
the winter ends here
where the winter begins
again too
will your fears last
forever will you always
be afraid
we become what we love
we become what we hate
through the space of our
lives through the time
of day now all my thoughts
are soothed through
and through
with lots and lots
of snowflakes
as i awake to a calm
winters night and i begin
again to dream
of you
my god look
i'm through
the snows twinkle
like stars a diamond
bright sight
the calm frozen
sky falls and fell
crystalized
the clouds and moon
too sang her song
last night long
she was a moon
full of love full
of shadow
full of doves
from where to where
a snowflake falls
through my faults
through my thoughts
as light as a feather
like the wind the silence
i hear talk talk to me
a choir of our desires
united below zero
to behold where the words
go through my faults
through my thoughts
where the snowflakes
go i return to here
my heart's desire
yule the jewel
of snow below zero
under ice hidden
yet warmed with fire
with cuddle soothed
through quiet through
the rhythm and dance
soundlessly where the
flames flicker where
feelings flow where
the soul glows
here where there
is peace there is
reason and angels
in the snow i too hide
how today is blessed
in every way
i saw the thaw
in awe the call to all
of the sun to the frozen
i felt my cold world melt
i felt free i felt the warm
breath of the warm winds
melt me
soon i will sleep deep
in dream deep in winter
deep in freeze lost in frost
hidden in snow and shadow
the wizards with blizzards
bring till again she sings
a day in the blaze of the sun
like spring
i grip my need to let go
of the shiver of the cold
the unseen days and nights
unknown show me your
love she says and tickles
my nose do not think
you are alone
crystal cold crystal clear
crystal bright black winter
night as deep as the snow
as high as the sky as wide
as my grin the snow that
had fallen calming calling
the silence through the
millions of years this snow
has appeared like a flake
fell for each night snow
had fallen past upon the winds
the silence empties my head
and i hear my soul speak
these words in a oneness
of wonder i am what i see
naturally i am the mountains
i am the sea i am the snow
that melts in me
i lose my focus
my laughter my will
and struggle
simply taught in gets
and gots i want
to fill the emptiness
with my wants to stop
the stillness this unknown
feeling of the unknown
a certain uncertainty
overwhelms me
like febuary see i freeze
i feel frozen and gray
like winter has won
and i lose my words
the touch of my tongue
and the hope in my hands
dwindles in ifs i only knew
why i want to know why
i feel lost in the longing
of the frost of the first
two weeks of every march
share these rains
this flame the pain
with me
will you take the time
to listen to my song
will you be gone
when i am strong
i say stay
and whisper my plea
perfection is only a tease
whats wrong with winter
whats wrong with me
i sense the chill
and feel the mystery
show me the measure
of your pleasure
rule me
in my solitude
my want of you
what my hands can do
a dream come true
you have the power
to awken me
nightly
you have the power
to guide me
deeply
you have the power
to keep me
free
muse me
use our wisdom
our intuition our
love to see
we share the same rain
the same flame the same
pain indeed
gray skies
my old friend
you have come to
walk with me again
i seek the sun moon
and stars you say
follow your heart
no matter how near
or how far
and my wands
of winter cold
winds and snows
will show you why
thank you i said
i love the way your
beard fills the sky
you are like the trees
to me and in the wink
of an eye my gloom
and doom was
gone
do the snows know
where the snowflakes go
god knows i don't know
i wonder
where do the winds
begin is the breeze
free i am in awe
of you tall tree
i sigh in the silence
in the emptiness
within me inside
winter like a mumble
bundled in slumber
i am one with wonder
i have been in love
for most of my life
and for most of my life
i have been alone
god knows i don't know
i wonder my heart
will one day die
my life of love
is the best is the
nest is the rest
of forever
"The end"
the wind felt like
