Sweet Heat
Sweet heat of Jesus /
Tastes full-bodied on your tongue /
Psalm to calm it down.

Skeleton of memories
Winter killed our tree. /
Don’t know if it was before, /
during, or after /
your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /
no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /
Skeleton of memories.

Burnt fingers
Burned by deep cold, leaves /
open to spring’s renewed touch. /
Winter’s fingers crossed.

Dabbled thoughts
Each snowflake a thought /
piled on the dappled stone bench. /
Soon gone in sunlight.

Sunset
Spring holds hope within, /
waits on the windy sunset /
to sweep out winter.

Heavens
The dove and the moon /
share a moment in the limbs. /
One resting, one passing through.

Yesterdays
The snows of the past /
glaze into the ice of now, /
then leave us alone.

And
Death and sleep and love. /
One comes, one goes, one remains. /
Legs of a broken stool.

Shadows and colors
Sunlight sits on cap /
Lying in quiet repose /
Waiting to turn heads.

Bare limbs
Bare limbs cannot catch /
The falling sun, yet they hold /
Winter’s fading grip.
