Winter Solstice

When Black surrounds and muffs my sight,
Lead feet mush through tarry night.
When midnight throbs – Flash’d starlight!
This fog is Yours – warm chill, all-right.

A Forest

Within your centre, all mysteries unfold.
Arms spin through eternal time,
With tails that trail in the winds behind.

Flitting finch flashes – the deafening blow,
“Everything is Him”. I know. i know.
