Winter here is up and down.
Sun shining in clear blue skies one day.
Showers bucketing down the next.
Smiles beaming as we run on the beach.
Hope glimmering through rain-beaten windows.
An unsteady season.
Blankets wrap the
sun
Earth’s coldness in
grey shadow
Warmth swelling
within.
Sunrays find a crack
Light exploding like
diamonds
Summer in charade.
Leaves fall dry and
brown
Naked branches
withered, cold
We huddle closer.
Storm clouds roll
slowly
Over choppy ocean
waves
Awash with the new.
