Naked Trees


naked trees
dance to music’s brittle symphony
I watch them in horror as they softly moan
and bear bitter witness to the aching twin of my soul
I would like to help but my limbs too are frozen
vapor speaking where warm words fall crystal
for the stirring under my own feet only find crunch
winter drifts to places that no warm can touch
whispering into silence with the return of an echo
water bleeds in ice it truly hurts the flowing
no smoke can comfort me and I truly miss the sun

just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart
