Low Winter Son
I kick away the leaves
uncover the carved stones
And reading your names again
I let those feelings flood in
The two of you rest together
laid deep beneath the earth
There’s a tree that grows above you
and here’s me, treading my own winter
Life was in wealth, awhile
but I’ve been chasing that warmth
for three decades now

Ice
Grey winter chills me, stops me, binds me
Like ice sliding into my body..freezing my soul
Thoughts frozen can’t move me
Lifeless limbs burning with cold
A stillness that isn’t calm

A gentle breeze sneaks past my fingers
Blue Lipped
Frozen Feet
Teary eyed

Listening to my favourite tunes
Not trying to blend in
Just learning to be
