     Winter Fellowship

a blackbird long-shadow
ripples over new-fallen snow
   on barren fields
just before sunset

a wild winter wind
follows in footsteps
of the storm

this trackless forest
becomes an empty
   universe
for inconsolate souls

comfort, harmony,  
and true purposeā€¦
remain elusive

This has such a lonely. cold feeling about it and yet it is as beautiful as new snow.

Yo Secondhanddreampoet,

I like your "a blackbird long-shadow" line.

The existential dilemma---to observe the appearance of beauty and harmony, then to see  meaning. This is what it says for me in a quiet, melancholy way.

Nicely done in such versimilitude to all aspects of life.

Open ended meanings bring the points all the way home.

I love to see rippling shadows on the ice and snow.
