Simple Rituals

Simple rituals

start and end the day – morning

coffee, evening wine.

Not Yet

Finally having

come to earth, that snow is quite

reluctant to go.

Unsnowed By Snow

Stubborn snow. Outside

it’s almost sixty degrees

and it still won’t go.

What they say about

some house guests is also 

true of snow – you’re glad

to see them come and you’re much

happier to see them go.

Marked And Noted

All along the road

brown-stained snow – reminder of

collective passage

Wayward

Starting from here, I

finally made my way to

there and still was lost.

Catch The Drift?

As snow drifts downward

kids’ spirits soar – a no-school

Monday lies in store.

The Thing Is

It’s not the wanting

or the knowing that’s the thing.

It’s the darn doing.

Grief

Grief, that unwanted

gift, love’s final offering,

must not be refused.

My Turn

When  I’m the cause of 

all  the trouble, the only

place to turn is in.

Elemental

Sunshine, rain, and hail

found a way to coexist

today. Why can’t we?
