Old Man Winter

In the pines, far down below

In the coldest winter breeze

We find no shelter from the storm

As it whips through frozen trees

Icy pellets whistle by

Like meteors from space

The old man has awakened

Brushing snow off from his face

He smiles a rather frosty grin

No comfort does he bring

His frigid presence chases away

The warmth to which we cling

He seems to find such pleasure

In coating the lands in white

Exhaling his breath, quite merrily

Throughout the winter’s night

Beauty lays Reposed

One with the Earth, Slumbering

Unencumbered Peace

Mirrored Reflections

The mirror reflects

A moment of beauty lost

In an aging time

I Dream of You

Tags

My Clouded Vision
Dreamy, Inviting
Reaching out, Touching
Embracing, Igniting

Mirrored Specter
Shadowy, Haunting
Awaken me, Clutching
Visionary, Taunting

Remove the Pain of
Misery, Discarded
Lighten my Heart with
Pleasure, Unguarded

Phantasm of Fantasy
Imaginary, Beguiled
Seduce me, Beloved
Delightfully, Wild

For George and Andy…RIP my friends

 

Once here, on this Earth

God had a greater purpose

On wings, you flew home
