aflutter
crash landing rabbit hole hell
tear swollen eyes lack luster
resolved against another fall
yesterday my sun dawned and set
with thoughts of you
and i knew
you’ve become a part of me
last night i dreamt of birds
soaring over white-kissed ridges
riding thermals up green valley walls
grace of flight embodied
this morning i have wings
cocoa brown feathered freedom
knobby tires crunch packed snow
but my heart soars above the earth
my mind reels, my soul shakes
not fallen but risen
and all the difference is knowing
your heart soars as well

arctic heart
the cold arrived under moonless sky
i hardly noticed that first chill
but the waxing moon finds me frostbitten
by a relentless hard freeze
silly to take the weather personally
and yet it feels so true
warm breezes withheld
by a nonchalant jet-stream
how long can the wind refrain
from blowing sweet once more
oh, to feel sunshine’s warmth
coaxing freckles on happy cheeks!
but no, the bitter wind remains
breath stolen by an icy embrace
shaken, raw, numb
a just punishment for my exposure
