Poem Artwork

(The Deep Snows Moon shines from
January 11 – February 10. My birthday is January 15.)



Born under winter’s Deep Snows Moon
and belonging to the North,
I brace for life long in days
and longer still in lonely task.

This bone-cold world has given me
but a chilly reception,
wintry blast of a welcome.
Yet, out of darkness, light will come.


Off diner menu, I order
steaming soup, find some comfort,
pleasing aroma in brief
respite from journey to spirit.

Rising to follow distant drum,
I continue silent march
to beat of Earth’s mystery
blanketed now by fallow time.


Sacred white buffalo appears
on frozen tundra ahead,
reminds me there’s a season
and to everything a purpose.

Finger of Great Spirit traces
patterns beyond my seeing.
I walk contemplative path,
seeking a vision, praying.

I, too, am from "the north," and can well relate to these
exceptionally vivid images of winter.
There are only 2 good reasons for winter (for me, anyway)...
colossal photography prospects and getting some writing done...

Beautifully composed, Dawn!
