Blessing 2

As the harsh, cold winds blow harder, may you always have a friend who will stand near you, backs to the wind, sharing warmth, like penguins.

Familiar field
Memory's magnetic pull
Winter migrators

Not like a scroll or a map, may your new year roll out like a rich, patterned tapestry, each thread intertwined with meaningful human connection.

Happy New Year

The wind beats the drum
Huddle together for warmth
Silencing the gale

Joyful and broken
A year can't be summarized
In just one statement

My first moment of respite
Body collapses

All others are at home here
We are the strangers

Cursing at myself
My constant loop of missteps
When no one's around

Wrapped with a ribbon
It still connects me to you
Offering of love

The time of the child
Innocent and full of awe
Carries so much hope
