In the darkness

In the darkness 
we are filled with 
spastic sobbing 
and through clenched teeth 
we throw our accusations at 
whoever might be listening.

Life's enigma 
spreads out before us
a dark treacherous sea of reeds
rustling in the storm bursts
it's path never more hidden.

As we watch 
the sea turns into white rapids
and we are hurled into them
the surge pulling us down to 
where we find rare calm spaces
where we can breathe.

It seems like eternity insists on 
waiting for us.

The Sunday Whirl

The snow storm

Icy blasts rush through the snow filled valley,

carrying in it's tail the milky visibility of an unfolding blizzard. 

The few houses listen, brace themselves

as wind gusts grab them by their corners,

by their windows and their doors,

sending shuddering chills down their spines,

scratching itchy wood till they moan and creak,

topping it off with sighs of relief.

Later, when the sky lightens and the wind dies down, 

the sun will come out and 

the feeling of impending tragedy will lessen,

but the roofs will cry slick, glassy icicles.
