Toward you I move, with every step lost in the wind that sings stories

...Toward you I move, with every step lost in the wind that sings stories,
When I say I'm coming home, I'm actually moving toward you, though I scatter along the way,
The warmth of returning envelops ...

Shadows in the Street

...There is a shadow moving in the street
Hanging over the people you meet 
It has no hands elbow or knees but
but it is moving swiftly in the air
and it is  causing the people to fear

A SINGLE PASSAGE

...Nothing compares to the stillness of the soul.

The art of being off-topic marches alongside as your shadow. 
As you spin tales, divert and mislead, 
Truth becomes a distant, fading thr...

Winter

...Fridged temperatures bite at exposed skin,
Icy cold winds pull and tug on coats, looking for a way in.

Naked trees expose their frozen bark,
It has arrived and leaves a snowy mark.
