It’s 3AM and I’m still awake

I walk to the window and pull back the drape

And stare at a moonless starlit sky

And wonder aloud, why is it I

Cannot find the sleep I so desperately crave

These thoughts overtake me, to a point where I cave

And slink back to my desk like a cat on the prowl

After all, it is why I am called the Night Owl

Without a Care

She reads aloud without a care

Unafraid that I am there

I have to wonder what she sees

When at last she looks at me

Continuing on with her journey in mind

She speaks of a forest, so soft and so kind

Of places that sparkle in emerald green

Of creatures she’s never really seen

Of beauty concealed in faraway lands

All this from the book

That she holds with her hands

Still she sits here before me

Enrapt in the story

As she utters the words

I can’t help but adore thee

Slow Drift

I’m drifting,

Like gently fallen snow,

Blown by winter’s sigh.

Swirling freely,

Taking flight, then

Softly falling,

Slowly drifting by.

Icicle Tears

When winter snow is heavy

Upon the fronds

And ice covers over

The rippling ponds

She weeps for the warmth

Once brought with the breeze

That allowed her dance

As graceful as leaves

That fell from the oaks

And surrounded her grace

Now covered in white

Like a veil ‘cross her face

It’s hidden her beauty

Each time, through the years

Under canopies, weeping

Her icicle tears

snowfall-16320_960_720In the distance far behind me
A tree stands faintly showing
Wrapped within a cape of white
Amid the sharp winds blowing

My umbrella yields no shelter
As I brace against the storm
Snowflakes gather round me
Like bees about to swarm

And still I wander on the dunes
Drifting high above the ground
And lose myself in howling winds
That nary make a sound
