Blizzard

ice bullets thunder
disguised as snow in the wind
get thee behind me

Storm

pavillions of gray
camp across the sky waving
banners of rain

Snow

gentle comes the snow
wafting cool kisses of white
on my outstretched tongue

Winter Trees

Stained glass sunset glides
Through winter's leaded branches
Cathedral of trees

old snow still lays white
crusted in ice yet hollow
treacherous stepping

Azalea Red and Tears

I bought your favorite color nail polish today.
On a whim of missing you.
And I painted my nails with a mixture
Of Azalea Red and tears

It strengthens them, you know
Keeps them from chipping and breaking.
Like me.
You keep me from chipping and breaking.

I thought of you as I brushed the layers of color on carefully and purposefully.
I thought of how you bundle me up in blankets of encouragement and us-memories.
I thought of your face captured in a thousand pixels on my early-morning screen.
I thought of your voice echoing from the other side of yonder.

I thought of reading your words and thoughts
Crystallized like red acrylic on nails.
You are my hero and you strengthen me.
Thank you.

I love you.
I miss you.
I am wearing your favorite color nail polish – 
It completes me.

Head In the Sand

Lake-effect snow watch
Not what I was hoping for
I think I'll sleep in

Honeysuckle Days

I went for a walk today through our neighborhood.
It took me awhile to identify what smelled so good.
Honeysuckle perfume and freshly mowed grass.
Sweet and spicy.
Like your aftershave in the early, early morning.

The dog did well on the leash 
Sit, Stay, Heel
Just like you taught
I wonder if the scent in the air reminded him of you, too.

Oh!  And you should have seen the sky!
Saturated and cloudless
Clear and crisp as the desert
We used to call it Arizona Blue.
Isn’t it just like God to breathe that color into this day?

I miss you.
Come back soon.
We’ll walk together and make memories
Crystal and sweet
So when we’re old, we can reminisce about honeysuckle days.
