2022.12.17: dormant

barren sky

with sunlight dwindling 
and plants stopping production  
time to sleep 'til spring 

2022.05.02: Monday blues

waking to thunder
wrapped in lullaby of rain
too soon alarm comes

2022.02.18: gauge

full moon 
the needle approaching 
empty

2022.01.12: serenity

out the window, Jan ‘22

awake and alone
unexpected solitude
grateful for respite

2022.01.08: oh bother

worst part of winter
cold dreary day with no sun
dampening spirits
