winter's grip
slowly loosens
from my throat
but tragedy
still sits
in the corner
of the house—
quiet grief
as if it belongs
unmoored— not clueless
home is not gone
warmth exists—
children's laughter
warm open hands
love

Reassess
each step,
each quiet move,
pausing to look
through fresh and clearing eyes.
What has been
has already settled,
yet still
we circle back
from time to time,
to revisit,
to gather what remains
from ancient times
delving into
what the past
is willing to give.

So some are asking; were those moonlight confessions veridical?
Some gained insight concerning you being radical.
Peace? it's eradicated the whole atmosphere is poisoned.
It's cold like winter's grip; situations you'll lose poise in.

Before speaking,
reassess the weight
your words may carry.
Ask whether they
offer service, or
merely occupy the air.
Consider the shadow
they leave upon others,
upon the self.
Silence holds its
own gravity—
often the wiser voice.

In the quiet of night,
I search for peace,
Never finding time
to rehearse.
My heart leans heavy
in stormy skies,
Lost in dreams
that never cease.
Again I repeat
my neglect,
But maybe one day,
I’ll downplay
this heart's foreplay
And come home again,
naturally.

Winters Icy Hand
#OurPoetryX #poetry
Winter exhales at my throat,
a sound without language,
and waits.
It knows patience.
It knows the body will comply
if given enough quiet.
Breath becomes something to negotiate
a privilege,
a temporary allowance…
