Weightless

Posted on Feb 28, 2015 by ellensymons

From the chair I stand
but tumble back

outside
the snowflakes
at the glass

hover
windless
weightless

my knees buckle
at their suspended beauty

Feed me

Feed my winter heart,

my famished, desperate eyes –

pour sunlight on the snow

and brew my spirits’ rise.

Bright star pierces
Cobalt sky:
Half-moon hangs knife-sharp

Chill wind blows me
right to your door.
Open your arms,
bundle me inside.

Frigid midnight:
shooting star. At dawn
the back deck sparkles.
