winter blues



winter blues 1/17/99

my heart
longs to break free
of the cold
where
snowdrifts
isolate
and confine me
i gaze on
sparkling crystals of ice
beautifully formed
intricate
reflecting sunlight
yet holding nothing for me
soon the sun
will return
full force
and i will lie in her embrace
nestled on the warm earth
gathering strength
heart
courage
until then
i dream



take me in the shadows


take me back to the songbook

take me home
