Weightless

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

Posted on February 22, 2015 by ellensymons

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.
