White Noise

Water’s souciant song
White as the snow still falling
Nature’s whisper: shhhhhhhh

A blanket of newness
Illuminated by the glow
Soon to become
Yesterday’s sun

Train wreck of a year
Called Twenty Twenty One ends
Twenty Twenty Two

Too?

Soft and sharp
Lavender petals fall
On broken glass

So is the acceptance
Of our sad reckoning

Embraced in tears

Beginning and ending
Juxtaposed

Or not

One leads always
To the other

Little Island of life
Cradled by the rock
Of a stormy shore

Embattled
Protected

Thriving

Outbound and sunrise
Clichés of new beginnings
I remain unchanged

Swaddled in silky cloud
Upon a bed of supple grasses and pine

Earth

Cradle of my being

I follow
The land’s flow
Over swell
And hollow

This sea of soil
Calls out to
Hard men

Sailors of
The grasslands

Content to be at sea

Some days the world seems
So very small and I feel
So vulnerable
