Rovaniemi Moments

Like a burning arrow soaring through the freezing clouds I turn into silent observer of a strange world of silver land… Lone spectator of restless thoughts conquering a cold winter day’s night… Quiet introspective of solitude abundant… Exposed exterior of vulnerable appearance… Where do my … Continue readingRovaniemi Moments

The Dance

Shhhhh…. Listen… As she gently weeps… Chirping birds in dialogue…  Whisper a dance… Listen… Can you hear their secrets unfold…? Like naked puppets in silent obedience… Can you see their luring flames? Their tender embrace?  … And she gently weeps… While chirping birds in dialogue… … Continue readingThe Dance

Dreams

Flake by flake, the winter freeze embraces her flower seed… Asleep… Beneath a blanket of snow freshly woven… She awaits the arrival of spring… In tranquil hope, she dreams… Her heart will soon thaw… Uncaring… Unable to love… The grace of her simplicity, the beauty … Continue readingDreams

Making it home

Damp November night outside, indoors, behind the wall, senseless games of a crowd… Within the cold autumn air, faithful companions… A tune, A roll up, and a pint… Devour the darkness of night… Visiting players  never stay long… Passers by with just time for a … Continue readingMaking it home
