February morn

While scraping frost
this dark and frigid dawn,
I heard a bird singing spring.
in notes of warmth and sun.

February moan

we arrive on the wind
and scatter like snow
we melt into rain
when it's time to go

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

Within me a Buddha woke
with a notion: we are
simply glasses of water
submerged in the ocean.

The ancient mountain"s tears
well up the valley's trace
mist rises like a veil
before their tear-stained face

RE: RE: Mist

a mist lifted then disappeared,
rising to meet the sun at mornings wake,
where ancient battles fought for years,
a pathway worn the soldier's tears.

Almost warm
lovely sunshine

We shape-shift like water into mist,
Same substance, different form,
Resisting the change, denying the strange
Like the calm before the storm

It's me you breathe

tonight you woke startled
from a dream
you reached for me
and are reaching still

RE: Mist

The mist on the open field in early morning
Whispered of battles fought long ago,
Of lovers embracing beneath quiet boughs
And secrets yet to come.

lighthearted amongst these shadows.
Past to present
the mist has lurked
and coiling itself, it settles.

the february warming
teases out spring green
bees and bulbs and croaking frogs

Long before dust
we become vapor;
it's me you breathe
at winter's door

Mist

As I stepped outside in the morning,
A cloud of mist came in greeting,
I was at the onslaught shivering,
Inside, my coat I left was waiting.

RE: Mist

Others thought it was crazy
to walk in the mist without
a coat made from a dead skin
in this winter time of year.

drifting down on dampened ground
our lives drive blindly on through haze
without a sound

Delirium

Sleepy grey and ash-clung lashes.
Bare black bark chills,
Sweats out a broken fever.
The ill in the air easier to breathe.

But I say it is crazier,
to walk with a coat on,
with a face morose like fall
when a smile is needed more.

morning mist

The daylight creeps more slowly
the morning drags her heels
And trails her shawl across the hills
and naps on hay-mown fields

In the middle of winter,
with ice all about,
Did I see the sun
just peeking out?

the daylight met me at the door,
with coffee in hand,

as the cold winds blow
