Present Tense The subtle fragrance of winter rain Feeds the recesses of sleeplessness Stilled in the fog, its arms around the moon Visibly a chilly embrace Yet there glows from within a pulsing light Ebbing in the throes of windy breath Wisdom born of fire, pure and unpretentious Tranquil and strong in this image Perceived as haunted hours Restless in my own sight Until realized, the hours pass My breath grows cold Hypnotic sways brush by So far I have traveled Coming back to you Copyright Kkh 11/14/08 |

Always enjoy the nuances of your poetry and this line -------------------------------------- Stilled in the fog, its arms around the moon -------------------------------------- begs to be remembered. Enjoyed |
