Ephemeral Blue

November barely changed clothes before night fell
Dark braids of inequity, shivered against a flat black sky
The trees were dipped in watercolors, then washed out
Left bareback on the wind,
Some shadowed warriors in lathered gait
This is how the seasons turn us sometimes
Reliant on the warm smiles of yesterday to light the future
Then love is the tinder for a fortunate fire
Blazing up, to light the corners of the room, warm and reticent
And you, as regal as Orion, fill my eyes
Where I trace your signature in the starlight
Shift upon the soft sighs of comfortable dreams
Waiting to shine beyond the cold of winter’s stare
Always, the closest to heaven’s heart
And mine, there you shine concealing the vastness
Of transitory times away

Words woven to the

Reading you is like a "master's class" in poetry.

Love,
