Rockhollow Series: October Progress
Winter blinks,
awaking,
almost
strokes long fingers over naked ladies budding,
coneflowers,
windflowers,
the like.
Spikes of old artichoke are cut away, leaving fresh growth,
dragged across gold sand paths to compost,
tomatoes too.
One lone dragonfly hovers
in the periphery,
brown, oversized, slower.
I've been clipping
long strands of willow,
over, over again,
discarding the slats,
pulling away wire binds,
stretching it thin across spaced decking poles
and strapping...

winter comming
Why did they invent the winter
Hits form cold are like a splinter,
Aching ailments everywhere
Virus spreading in the air,
Some with flu some with fever
Using pills for a reliever,
Was it better till last week
When the heat was so much meek,
Some would say we’re better off
And the summer they would scoff,
Bu they would have to stay indoor
Instead of walking by some shore,
Its ok we may be different
And this reason is sufficient,
But when weighing all the facts
Winter shows a bit of cracks.

Different Seasons
When Autumn's bedding of leaves
is pulled up snug to Summer's chin
it's time you let your breath Spring out
and let your death Winter in
is pulled up snug to Summer's chin
it's time you let your breath Spring out
and let your death Winter in

Guardian of the Mountain
A traveller walks the mountain path for days on end,
Through ancient storms he senses the coming of spring.
The winter air fuels a rage & leaves shreds of wings,
Inside him he feels the longing of mountain.
Days of happiness drifts away in lingering cold,
Hibernates the weak of nature in a lake so old.
Protects every soul with warmth for coming of life,
Descents a man with touch of bliss in reprise.
A mountain sage waits for spring in cold forever,
Beneath the lake I immerse my soul in depth of winter.
Through ancient storms he senses the coming of spring.
The winter air fuels a rage & leaves shreds of wings,
Inside him he feels the longing of mountain.
Days of happiness drifts away in lingering cold,
Hibernates the weak of nature in a lake so old.
Protects every soul with warmth for coming of life,
Descents a man with touch of bliss in reprise.
A mountain sage waits for spring in cold forever,
Beneath the lake I immerse my soul in depth of winter.

Winter's Blush
Midwinter’s season on her lips,
a thawing blush tranquilizes the senses.
The dark of winter’s solstice
leaves me no lips to see to kiss.
Those pine-green eyes,
dusts of snow feathering upon her blushed cheeks.
There they melt,
glissading down her face.
a thawing blush tranquilizes the senses.
The dark of winter’s solstice
leaves me no lips to see to kiss.
Those pine-green eyes,
dusts of snow feathering upon her blushed cheeks.
There they melt,
glissading down her face.

Winds of Change
When the nights give way to colder morning dew and the mosquitos no longer fill the air,
When the first junco pecks the ground under the bare mulberry tree and the chicory no longer paints the roadside in hues of voilet-blue.
When Orion departs from the daytime sky to contrast the backdrop of the universe and the dawn sleeps a little longer.
That's when I feel the hope of what could have been slowly drift away, leaving only cold in its wake.
When the first junco pecks the ground under the bare mulberry tree and the chicory no longer paints the roadside in hues of voilet-blue.
When Orion departs from the daytime sky to contrast the backdrop of the universe and the dawn sleeps a little longer.
That's when I feel the hope of what could have been slowly drift away, leaving only cold in its wake.

rain return
And the wind brought us the rain
Cut the heat to chill our brain,
Wonder if we go to the beach
If this rain was just a breach,
Or we’ll have back the scorching sun
So the winter will be undone,
Cloud formations in the sky
are a wonder no deny,
mask the sun and chill the day
I want summer all the way,
freezing season frosty shivers
I don’t like those stormy winters,
The are just good to stay in bed
And be fearful with their dread.
Cut the heat to chill our brain,
Wonder if we go to the beach
If this rain was just a breach,
Or we’ll have back the scorching sun
So the winter will be undone,
Cloud formations in the sky
are a wonder no deny,
mask the sun and chill the day
I want summer all the way,
freezing season frosty shivers
I don’t like those stormy winters,
The are just good to stay in bed
And be fearful with their dread.

the cold hard facts ..
I like winter sky grey
as lead piping, dunno why,
but there it is ..

The Runes Pt. 4 Dagaz
Fires lit
burning into
the rising sun
Hands on drums
dancing to a new day
I breathe smoke
and exhale my pain
into the past
I down my drink
and throw myself
into the dancing fray
we sing our songs
belonging to the cycle
of this eternal
spiral
And I spiral-
a participant
of earth's
cycle
And when the last star
in our winter-clear sky
says its final goodbyes..
a new day has come
burning into
the rising sun
Hands on drums
dancing to a new day
I breathe smoke
and exhale my pain
into the past
I down my drink
and throw myself
into the dancing fray
we sing our songs
belonging to the cycle
of this eternal
spiral
And I spiral-
a participant
of earth's
cycle
And when the last star
in our winter-clear sky
says its final goodbyes..
a new day has come

season changes
Hit the beach till there is time
Spoil the fun will be a crime,
We’ll soon have rain and heavy cloud
The sun will hide out in a shroud,
The cold will come bringing unrest
And all our lives it will congest,
The day will shorten out its light
And all the heat will lose its sprite,
We cannot stop the nature’s course
While all its things provide resource,
So make the best of winter too
And hope the cold won’t turn us blue.
Spoil the fun will be a crime,
We’ll soon have rain and heavy cloud
The sun will hide out in a shroud,
The cold will come bringing unrest
And all our lives it will congest,
The day will shorten out its light
And all the heat will lose its sprite,
We cannot stop the nature’s course
While all its things provide resource,
So make the best of winter too
And hope the cold won’t turn us blue.

The Runes Pt. 2: Hagalaz
She breathes
~Skadi~
and all is white
The pack hungers
and they hunt
amidst the coming
storm
Wind-torn fur
breath hung heavily
on bitter air
She sees with the mountain's eyes
and she flies through shrieking skies
bringing life to pale,
silent nights
And when
the wolves
howl
tonight
Winter will come
~Skadi~
and all is white
The pack hungers
and they hunt
amidst the coming
storm
Wind-torn fur
breath hung heavily
on bitter air
She sees with the mountain's eyes
and she flies through shrieking skies

silent nights
And when
the wolves
howl
tonight
Winter will come

The Runes Pt. 1 Valknut
pause~
poised on a frozen branch
the winter raven
"vad är ditt pris?"
The cloaked stranger
hidden daggers
fur on leather boots
quietly treading
through snow
A northern breeze
brushes against
onyx feathers
The raven
...blinks
slowly...
then
"Frihet."
