End – Poem of the Month – January 2019

End Evening touches the last lightBefore it covers in its darknessMy heart swathed in mourning threadsand face paralyzed in hardness In the end they say it is blackThis must surely be where I amThe birds do not singnor do I hear the bleat of a lamb I feel only numbnessImmobilized with no directionHearing your words echoing inContinue reading “End – Poem of the Month – January 2019”

Virgin Snow – Poem of the Month – December 2018

Virgin Snow It was virgin snow almost a sin to walk there Earth soundproofing and protecting itself from chaos Silent and peaceful fresh air Most birds had flown but a few mourning doves cooed The sun was struggling to make its appearance Invisible animals searched for food The stillness of the morning lifted my spiritsContinue reading “Virgin Snow – Poem of the Month – December 2018”

Redemption – Poem of the Month – July 2018
