[From November, 2014…]
night has its rewards for those who seek them
and this I will do
exulting tacitly in its beauty
the heavens reveal themselves
in frosty splendor
and the breath exhaled carries today’s griefs
and yesterday’s sorrows up
up up
as sacrificial smoke
clarity in the night
warmth amidst the frost
and all the stars
one could want
for company
