The north wind freezes fields and rivers
Drifts across roads to seal the town
Skin cracks inside ice covered gloves
Vick’s rubbed onto croupy chests
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day
Fireplace surrounded by, family, lovers and friends
Ice skating, snowball fights, sleigh rides
Hot chocolate, red noses and hugs
You silenced the calling out of children
Across empty lots and down twilight alleyways
You stole the summers of innocents
And the friends and lovers of forgotten days
Long ago, you teased me with your possibilities
Filled me with hope and fantasies
Then jerked away your promises
And left me with want and empty dreams
I write you poetry to beg acceptance
Into a world that’s not mine
Hoping my words can talk to you
In a voice that I will never speak aloud
Feelings are difficult to breath into life
When there’s a battle between
My imagery and your truth
But what good is inspiration
If not earned through struggle
I only hope that one man’s dribble
Just might be your art
Futile musings of an old ghost
Ramblings
Footprints of a Witness.
Poetry, short stories and a smidgen of real-life drama
Living slowly, adventuring often ✨️

Life is a story, waiting to be told
Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.
Our thoughts define us, so let's focus on a few.
