IMPENDING STORM by Christopher Kidlow Moon |
COLD WINTER RAIN
by James Lee Jobe Soon I will plunge myself into the cold winter rain. I love the truth that comes from shivering. Autumn can be so beautiful and deceptive, walking Through leaves, seduced by color and cool breezes. Soon I will plunge myself into the cold winter rain. I am a small thing on a small planet, in a universe That is endless and always expanding outward. I love to turn my face to the sky, to the rain. Soon I will plunge myself into the cold winter rain. Let the deluge begin. Wash the streets and houses clean. Let winter come, and be long and cold, wet and dark. This is the beginning of winter in my own life. |

SEASON OF SNOW
by Doug Bolling Twilight in December snow rising around our small cabin in the pines. You saying: How is it that love begins here where cold makes warmth, where the frozen creek keeps its passion through all of winter. It would snow all night as we slept dreaming of pasts and futures, how these keep their distances until becoming one, how wounds and losses have permitted us here. |
