The Grasp of Winter





The Grasp of Winter
 

Light reflecting off a shard
an exploding stellar nebula.

I still search for a guiding light.

inflections from rainbows behest
inspiration or an embryonic memory.

the guiding light flickers.

casting shadowed thoughts
from the nights infernal quarks.

the guiding light...a dull orb.

In the dark flavor of winter's solstice
gnawing at the depth of sanity within.

bare trees permeate the landscape
cabin fever leaks a brown with white.

piles of fodder litter the night.

A light reflects off a shard
an exploding stellar nebula.
twinkles in a foggy pallid haze

an albino raven lands 

upon the bare branch.

winter's grip devouring
 
a warm guiding light.
