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

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.

Sheltering

God saw me sheltering
in the darkened end
of my cocooned life,
and He said,
Come out beautiful creature,
I want you to fly.

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

Sheltering In Place Is Not Working

I never thought anyone could be that annoying
But we never had to be quarantined before
It seemed like ten years
So far it is ten days 
And I am ready to tear my hair out

Week six
I thought we loved each other
I can barely look at him 
He put the last roll of toilet paper in his bathroom
I

Home is where

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
