Coming In From the Cold
COMING IN FROM THE COLD
may’s last day
is placement
directly between
winter and summer –
a look back
a look forward –
but trapped in the past
i’ve lingered
counted the days
all those sameness days
when all that held me fast
was hoping to grow
to watch for growth
anything but winter’s stagnation
such depression
that sickness of soul
the very thought shivers me now
but then a look
out my kitchen window
how tree’s leaves full blown
dance in the breeze
and at last
i’m coming in from the cold
