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.
