Midwinter Revelation

My soul stirs beneath
layers of snow
this cold heart night,
finally settles into
drifts of peace.

My fears, shed like leaves,
I bear the weight.
Soon I’ll rise and
walk on solid ground,
thin ice mere memory.

Bone & Stone
Iron & Blood

I am at once revealed
and entombed.
I bask in moonlight
and crystals of snow.
I am the gift, sealed.
