Spring Promise

The silver stream of a broad moonlight ray 

kissed my cheek last night, as I laid upon my 

pillow. It crept in gently, first caressing the bed 

and then easing itself to my right ear 

where it whispered promises 

of bright red springtime

flowers with their sunny

button middles.

Snowy Wood

Snowy wood 

blustery hill 

windswept faces 

shiver still 

on cold bare mountain 

Appalachian wood 

cozy fire 

life is good
