Stars of Clarity
stars of clarity hide - muffled
lost in a flurry of blizzards,
like the screams of famished owls
that echo through a silent wood.
wet snow falls - frozen tears
coat skeletal arms where
oaks and maples shiver and
birches bow - their dreams forsaken
will they break before morning?
where? the clarity that hope hugged tightly?
perhaps there, beyond the stratus coverlet,
or, horizon's born in a different wish or
the morrow's shattered tears...
