Poem: Winter moon



night has awaken inside your thoughts
it happens in silence like a transformation
of a caterpillar into a butterfly, unknowingly
you inhale notes of grey to the old memories
the heavy winter moon has been sitting on your brows
dragging down your eyelids, pulling them to close
but behind them you find
a comforting hiding place
and with the love you carry in your palm
you will prevail

    Without that palm full, I would hibernate the winter away, without that palmful I would grow too old too soon. Lovely.

    I think wandering in our memories we can find the strength to go forth.. much like that butterfly.. strong metaphor.

    love can indeed see us through...and all it takes is a palm full....smiles...
    why is it that at night our thoughts run wild?
