Nowness.
We, looking to Now
..........................may see icy goodbyes.
Cold can scribe lonely,
...............................but for only a while.
Forgiveness demands
..................................no special timing.
Winter sounds saddest
.........................when seen from behind.
Drifts of bleak past can
................................harden soft faces.
Smiles will melt quicker
.........................frost-bitten heartaches.
Nowness awakened
..........................heals painful traumas.
Yielding to stillness
.....................means peace again soars.
