wintry winds
a dog sleeps
in a spot of sun
wintry winds
a dog sleeps
in a spot of sun
winter night
cold on the street
dogs howl
when the quilt feels too warm
the dreams are drenched in sunlight
goodbye winter, summer beckons
lazing in the shadows
of the cedar tree
the cool mountain air
and the sun dappled parasol
a perfect moment in time
and
I wish for a wormhole
to travel back
into time
to a similar moment
with a younger me
snuggling in my mother’s lap
and dreaming
what the future will hold
cold wintry night
a small dog on the sidewalk
shivering in the chill
buying blankets
looking for abandoned animals
waiting to cover them
cold winds
deep dark clear nights
a warm heart for the winter bed
cold winds blowing
I sit huddled in my quilt
waiting for summer
warm sun cold winds
the winter bids us goodbye
with a promise to return
stay with me
for today is the winter solstice
and the day is too short
yearning for the warmth
of a few loving words
I endure winter
