Wake

nature, poem, poetry, sunshine, weather, winter

On a little bucolic verse

Wake me then when the cuckoos call
When the winds are warm
and the petals fall
From cherry trees

Let me rest while these harsh winds prowl
’til my heart is healed
Of long Winter’s growl
By Sun’s warm glow

song birds long to sing

Madly

On a soft, moonlit night

face veiled in pale mist
Moon has a silver circlet
madly romantic

On being glad I‘m not a fish

not moving a fin
goldfish in a winter pond
no snuggled comforts

Touch

morning silences

frosts wait for sun’s kiss

Creak

On standing in a wood

monotone grey sky
nothing dramatic, rain falls
listen, the trees creak
