Soon the Stars Will Shine

After the sunset
view the day through lens of days
soon the stars will shine

Fury of Winter’s Last Blast

On a hidden path
fury of winter’s last blast
laid bare in stillness

Before and beyond
a vantage that comes to view
during springtime storms

See a beach in snow
all to yourself in the cold
these waves keep crashing

Woke up from a dream
or in a dream, I woke up
either way I’m here

Place I’ve never been
under a crisp morning light
reminds me how to see

No one coming
no one going
except the sun

Restlessness in sleep
morning light on bleary eyes
the bloom is far off
hidden away a refuge
found in just these moments

A worn away glance
evening’s familiar terrain
fades into shadows
