I Don't Know You

I don't know you.
Yet your anger did fall, with a crash.
There was no one home you see...
When the glass shattered.
Shards sparking in the light of day.

I don't know you.
But, I fear you.
You violated my sanctuary.
Sending the essence of safety,
(that had been so carefully cultivated
and nourished) flying away...
Your stones broke my security
and shattered my peace of mind.

I don't know you.
But now I hear you in the dark.
I see you as the branches brush the moonlight.
I can taste your hatred and loathing.
Sitting in the dark, amidst shattered sleep,
I await your return.

I don't know you.
Yet, here and now...
I wish I did.

Light Will Find Me

So Cold
     So Tight
          This Winter's grip...

Frozen,
or so it seems.
     Unable to move forward.
     Unable to find the Light.
          Icy earth holds me fast.

Yet the promise rings true.
Light will find me
     if I but ask...
Bringing freedom of movement
     and
a tearing loose of the tightness
          and darkness of frigid Winter.

The year wheel turns,
     bringing with it all I
hoped and dreamed.

And with a whisper from my lips...
     the Sun rises
          in a flash of Joy.
The promise is fulfilled.
     My Spring has come
          and I am cold no more.
