         In the wake of Der Sturm

beyond every
   sunset
my heart
sails to you
on the Winter
    wind


a lost forest
    path
in the mist
delicious
uncertainty


in the falling dusk
a withering Winter
   wind
beyond all respite


a pallid sun
like a thief
vanishes
over the
rooftops
Winter
chill


barren trees
bleak skies
everywhere
frozen
memories


evergreens by
Winter moonlight
snow tumbling
bow to bow


Winter
storm
peace
reigns
in this
world
without
sound


tree shadows and
frigid moonlight
somewhere
there is warmth
   and love


beyond the
    storm
winter clouds
tipped in
flash-frozen
moonlight


numbing cold
and silvered
emptiness
Winter moon

your words are warm filling in the barren
landscapes rendered by the cruelty of this
frigid season

These are all excellent.  But this one, "a pallid sun
like a thief
vanishes
over the
rooftops
Winter
chill"
is truly outstanding.  I love it.
