Despite
Despite the dark December wind
and the shadowy tall barren trees
one can hear the groans of fragility
limbs ready to break in two…
Despite my grieving heart
and the emptiness that remains
one can hear the caws of the raven
wings fluttering in the darkness
Despite the cold winter chill
and the frozen days of yesterday
one can hear the cries of brokenness
hearts cracking from the weight of loss
Still
Still the light of December placid skies
and its promises of evergreen trees
one can hear the whispers of sturdiness
branches swaying in unison…
Still my soothing heart
and the memories that remain
one can hear the songs of cardinals
wings of red fluttering in the light
Still the warm winter sunshine
and the thawing days of tomorrow
one can hear the distant sighs of renewal
hearts healing from the lightness of hope
