sunrise to sunset
my day dreams into nightfall
to be truly free
to travel to where you are
held in echoes and shadows
62
I wonder sometimes
if time has stopped for you too
these dreams cloud my mind
trying to make it to dawn
somewhere where you don’t exist
61
this Winter Solstice
snow angels forever lost
where my Sun stands still
60
just for a moment
can i stand still in your dreams
till you reach morning
59
my December ends
and for what is yet to come
I begin anew
58
did i do the best
with the year given to me
this clocks pendulum
rewinds that time in my mind
knowing we missed our season
57
thoughts frozen in time
this challenge of being still
in all our moments
56
possibilities
disappearing into dreams
an exquisite extreme
of these castles in my clouds
only the morning can steal
55
In filed memories of Christmas past
are recollections of an unanswered wish
of lost opportunities of a missed kiss
under mistletoe held in silenced stillness
mirrored spheres of silver and gold
reflect a fire where stories were never told
of affirmations until we’re grey and old
and adorning the bridge in between
crimson ribbons on powdered evergreen
under shooting stars that will never be seen
and as my heart begs for its rewrites
snow is falling on these twinkling lights
time is calling on my silent nights
and you’re not here fills each Christmas past
54
can your last first kiss
have my name written on it
can you stay in mine
if I color in your lines
and if I say I love you
it means forever this time
