Winterfade

The change of season- my need to hunker down...

I pass through this portal while the earth is sleeping

with a shivering body, a warm heart...

The trees have finished with their artistry-

splotches of red and amber,

colors of a fire in a hearth;

all tumbled and fallen to the ground

leaving a stark greyness

and a forest of stick-figures

for a new horizon.

Every shiver that the morning brings

leaves me wishing for a human warmness

to wrap myself inside of,

a sleepy glance and a half smile;

legs to tangle myself in

in a heart I can call home.
