Mountains high.
Falling snow
Sparkles as if diamonds
In the full moon glow.
Where she’s headed no one knows
For the wind blows away any trace
Of foot steps taken upon the ground.
They speculate and create tales of wonder
Of a woman lost
For she does not wander the
Beaten path
Nor the familiar.
Most whisper in the dark that she is a misplaced soul;
But then they dare not go where she goes;
Infinite unknown.
Vanished, yet in plain sight.
Watching the birds
Surfing in this
Ferocious wind,
The storm has arrived and there is more to come.
Visibility is obscured by the snow
Falling, falling, falling.
Wind gusts unforgiving.
The birds live on
Come what may.
Hot coffee in my hand.
Through fog
Christmas lights glow
As the snow begins
A gentle decent,
Dancing with the breeze
In the air.
A farewell to the sky
As the snowflake kisses
My skin, dissolving.
On to my morning destination
Loving the frigid sensation.
My senses now fully
Invigorated.
I was born in the spring but
I have a winter soul.
I am in love with cold and snow.
My blood runs hot.
She knelt in the snow and clasped her hands to her
Heart.
Her fragile voice began to talk to anyone
Who might be listening;
Gods
Angels
Ancestors
Eagles
Snowflakes.
“Why am i so slow,
So aware?
Why does my heart overflow with love,
Yet my body shy from all?”
In the the peace in the air between her breathes
She felt their reply.
“You suffered great trauma child.
You denied yourself validation of pain.
You rejected love of others
And refused to honor yourself.
Fear became imbedded in your cells.
They are rebuilding themselves
And are reemerging as light.
Holy light of love.
Be patient.
Accept the light. Accept the love.
Lift your gaze to meet yourself in
All your grace.
You can deny yourself being no more.”
And light became her as she opened her
Arms,
Her heart boundaries dissipated as
One became one.
You must have been an
Apparition.
A made up someone in my
Imagination.
For I wandered these stone stairwells
And
I roamed through
Winters withering garden
Following your song.
I knew I should find shelter,
Somewhere to warm my core.
But once outside I could return
Inside no more
For
I was met with barred windows and
Locked doors.
I found you in the courtyard.
I tried to reach you.
Touch you.
You vanished as I approached.
My fingers now cold and frozen,
I,
Left dreaming in the fog with ghosts and snowflakes.
And I remained alone
As I was all
Along.
I must have mistaken the
Wind howling through
Windows and doors,
Through
Winters garden
For your song.

The first chord
And I am taken back
To days
Gone by.
Mamma cooking in the kitchen with
Her favorite apron on.
Her cheeks rosie
And heart full.
Dad sitting back on the couch,
A big grin on his face.
Christmas records playing.
And laughter echoing
Through our
Tiny trailer insulated in snow.
Neighbors, friends and family crammed in every nook
As we celebrated
The holiday season.
(cigarette smoke filled the air and alcohol flowed amidst the peaceful chaos)
We could not help but touch for there
Was no room to hide.
We did not have much
But we had each other.
Ups and downs,
Good and bad.
We wore our love without shame.
Our humanness on the inside reaching out.
Pulling each other through the endless
Cold winter nights.
Each of us our own shade of light
Together creating a beacon to keep
Warm.
We magnified each others hearts with love.
Do you not love
The sensation of
The heat of the sun on your skin,
And the wet of the rain,
The caress of the wind and the
Chill of the snow the same?
She does.
