Premium Member A Sheltering Light at Ironwood
The sun sets leaping in fierce golden shafts As days shift shorter with Winter’s warning We seek emblazoned fires from the chilled drafts That glaze windows from iced winds each morning As twilight falls stale dead leaves swirl rifting Barbed smells of Pine and Tannin Oak scent streams From forest floor fumes in brisk air hinting Drab pumpkin, peach and tawny spiced...

Premium Member The Sheltering - Ifl
Owl eyes break as dimming light worms about, Hollow clap surrenders a sparked ribboning, Escapees breakout from their misty cells, Wakes of earthen prints puddling, Harbored ills bade sanctuary, A glassy millpond beholds the begotten, Abrupt warming tempts the absence, Stirred tea sweetly idling, An archer colorfully tools the realm, Directives wondering, Vibrant life answering, A stranger to loneliness, ...I felt like being alive....

Premium Member Sheltering In Place Is Killing Me
Alone in my mind Dangerously dangerous Expecting the worst Even though I teach other to never do this Expecting to be rejected Night air might revive me But I stay inside, with the lights out Dark shades cover my windows of happiness I squelch any semblance of joy I do not deserve it My feelings have slid down the bad hill Are now...

Sheltering In Place My Heart Grows Empty
Sheltering in place my heart grows empty This person’s faded out in my memory Surprised that her name on screen puzzled me No way I can send a care-laden greeting The visage of old time has turned dusty The fragrance of fallen spring flowers escaped me...

Premium Member Tired of This Sheltering In Place Junk
To fully be safe, we would have to live somewhere else right now. Move out of this galaxy onto another planet away from the pandemic. But this is what I would suggest. One. Wash your hands over and over and over all day long. Which I never do. I would suggest wearing a mask. I have one hanging up in...

Sheltering Myself From Unhappy Thoughts
Sheltering myself from unhappy thoughts, is recalling those serene days on deserted shores... picking up empty shells discolored and broken, they mean squalor to the vagrant who has awoken! Instantly I'm overtaken by the somber winter's blues, it's the sureness of the February sky that deludes; and turning myself into a seagull I explore infinity... there all the sins that the earth...

Sheltering My Love
Is it fair that I take and hold my love in wait? I give it to you, you store it away again and again. Put away to keep as your own, never with you but with me. I sat on many occasions burying in my many questions with how? Why? Or when? I alone felt...
