for them it’s the gifts
ready to unwrap treasures
under Christmas trees
but for me? the food
finding fresh new recipes
to brighten winter
Nothing but Fluff
cloud walking happens
in Colorado mountains
on blue winter days
Hope for the Holidays
caroling for hope
finding it behind closed doors
that our songs open
Cookies for the Win
sometimes a small prize
on a bitter winter night
makes joy come to life
Weekday Dawn
painting the morning
with a cotton candy brush
winter is redeemed
Moon Searching
late nights, early morns:
moonlighting my way to hope
around each corner
(it rises despite
city business beating it
into a soft glow)
We Got This
postcard messages
and snowflakes cut into hope:
proof that love trumps hate
Tower of Love
on a moonlit night
bubbles of humanity
brighten the night sky
Duly Awarded
all i can hope for:
tomorrow’s women will win
and beat this bastard
Principal’s Office
a special request
(overdue acknowledgement)
impossible choice
what will they think now?
that i am any different?
same face, different game?
there is no answer
(but a suggested offer
is still an offer)
