Blues Transformed

In spring
When browns and ice
Of winter’s deathly sleep
Recede

Life renews
Thus even deepest blues
Transform

Become such vibrant hues
Reborn

As hope to those awakening

In a land of ever ice
The snow survived
The summer heat
Since long before
Both you and I

The glaciers die
The cold retreats
To summer’s entreat
They’re gone before
Both you and I

On a crisp chill morn’
Paradox so comforting
Fresh blanket of snow

It’s time to set
The wheels in motion
Time to move along
Not so much
To just be rolling
Much more to have
Intent

No need for
Destination
No need
To have a plan
Not yet

But scan
Horizons
For potential
For places I’d like
To get

Ripsaw peaks
Sunder ice
This land distressed
And yet at peace
Beguiles spirit
Releases soul
Inner silence
Serenity

Early season
Symphony of snow
Graceful waltzing arcs
Vigorous staccato bumps
Rhythms and melodies
Of edge and wax

Last of the colour clings
Pool of yellow below
The bench, empty

Walking past
Eyes turned away

She would never sit there again

Not without him
