Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 40. Two Winter Sonnets
Perhaps this pair of sonnets leave a glow.
January
Thick fall the flakes, a covering of white
will clothe the flesh of earth in bands of snow
and swaddle infant spring as on that night
when angels sang hosannas long ago.
Soon must the restless spirit of the green
rest deep in silent slumber, cold and still,
beneath the silver gaze of heaven’s queen
exhausted by its growth, as children will.
Yet soon Persephone her duvet stirs,
awaking laughter bubbling in my heart,
such joy as play below the blanket spurs
And melts the ice enough so torrents start.
Embrace me safely in our hidden bliss,
for I am made anew in winter’s kiss.
Cosmos
A patient, loving galaxy is mine;
your stars revolve in ether's perfect tune
as constellations excellent combine,
and brilliant supernovas swell and swoon.
As long as light takes crossing primal space,
the ages twixt the mover and the moved,
will not be long enough to sing your grace;
auroras by your beauty are reproved.
Yet you are also earth, my island home,
unique within the cosmos deep and blue,
my final destination when I roam,
my journey's end and lodestone pointing true.
Celestial is the pull of sweet desire
to be embraced in your terrestrial fire.
