Robins in Winter

They said to me: “Stay strong, the

cold days will pass. Someday

soon, you can come with us to

forage for worms. There will be

no more need for this difficult

search for the very last of the

dried berries.”

I had never before longed for

worms. But, suddenly, there I

stood, realizing that all I

wanted in the world was the

soft company of a worm.  And,

my hand, was empty.

Moon Rise

How the moon rises,

She is yet burning with love for
this world that has largely abandoned
her to the solemn sky and which neglects
the instructions she gives with her body, what
we need to know if we are to grow and thrive,
but there are gadgets on and children starving,
and I wish I knew how to say, "Look! There
is the moon. She has arisen!" And, get the people to
remember that guidance is in the heavens.

The Winter Woods

Go on thinking that this world is

barren. If you must. I shall walk

alone in the winter woods and

wonder at the stark beauty that

somehow – how does it keep

so great a vow? – manages to

remain, steadfast, in all of us.
