Half the day lost, staring
at this window. I wanted to know
just one true thing
about the soul, but I left thinking
for thought, and now —
two inches of snow have fallen
over the meadow. Where did I go,
how long was I out looking
for you?, who would never leave me,
my withness, my here.

when i first started reading it i got goosebumps it reminded me of my very first poem, called the Footprints, which I long ago burned along with 2,999 other poems of mine in a fit of …. ? anyway I was 8 when i wrote it, it was 4 pages and about an angel who had fallen in the snow… love the picture and love the idea behind the poem and…. of course LOVE YOU!
It’s a beautiful poem isn’t it … there are several of hers in that book I love … I will probably post more from it in the future. The Black Sun was her poem also.
yes and the picture is awesome, im collecting these great winter shots all over the place… like the front yard!
that picture you took was amazing — you are a talented photographer for sure!
