In My Deepest January

In my deepest January
nature is my sanctuary
beauty in the snow covered land
solitary goose makes her stand

winter's weight is hard to carry
in my deepest January
frozen reflections dancing trees
songbirds lingering singing free

feeling the wrath of bitter squalls
my mighty fortress with no walls
in my deepest January
thawing hearts in February

starry heavens and dreamy nights
praying for longer days of light
nature is my sanctuary
in my deepest January

January Moon - Will I See You Soon

January full moon where have you gone

 hiding behind the dark clouds of night

will you show your face before the dawn

are the tides rising somewhere out of sight

 

hiding behind the dark clouds of night

 do you hear the wolf's  mighty howl

are the tides rising somewhere out of sight

 in a new landscape the wolf now prowls

do you hear the wolf's mighty howl

 the wilderness sings, a song of sadness

in a new landscape the wolf now prowls

  trying to find a new path in the blackness

the wilderness sings, a song of sadness

  a snowy owl keeps watch from the pines

trying to find a new path in the blackness

  nature is sending humanity warning signs

 a snowy owl keeps watch from the pines

  will you show your face before the dawn

nature is sending humanity warning signs

  January full moon where have you gone

author's note:  Today is the full moon and

it's too cloudy to see it here tonight. I wonder

will the clouds lift so I can catch a glimpse.
