Night visitor
Ancient face abounds;
Deep into the night it shines.
See in darkness home.

Start
Buds in mid-winter /
clutch to tomorrow’s promise /
within today’s cold.

Legacy
Clouds and shadows painted /
With tints of winter sunlight. /
Bare limbs full of gray.

Know in your heart: /
we are each others’ keepers. /
Compassion isn’t cold.

Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.

Moon
Barren branches clutch /
at passing quarter moon; grip /
empty into dawn.

Forget not
Let us not forget /
Those who define heroism /
By the rule of hate.

Fire far away
Sky fire far away /
beckons a tired winter day. /
Eternity rests.

Time
Now is elastic, /
Memory stretches then, /
Next shrinks away.

Goodbye
Footsteps here and gone. /
What you hold you someday lose. /
What you embrace stays.
