Obscurity
stars hide - muffled,
in a blizzard of flurries -
the screams of owls echo
through a once silent wood.
wet snow settles - frozen tears
on the skeletal arms
where oaks and maples shiver
and birches bow - forsaken?
will they break before morning...
was hope held too tightly
and hugged beyond welcome?
perhaps there, under the
stratus coverlet, or
horizons born in a different wish
tomorrow's shattered tears
will melt warm...
