Loss and Found

more than shadows
succumb to night
missing something
tearing things apart
searcher he
pushes aside darker clouds
loud branches blocking  touching
a too weak moon
shards of stars slice
bleed their icy blues
these too under
a too weak moon
his is hunger now
salt in hard wind
wind in stripped trees
frantic trees and weak moon
snow falls from the moon
tracking snow
falls everywhere
the moon  stronger now
lights the pine
finds his longing
loss filling deeply
with new snow

So Long the Rain

years silent
raucous crow
shout loudly
revive about me
beyond me beyond my joy
they have much to say

crossing the end of a long rain
over sun white
hung between thin oak
I join in the lucky confusion
watch things unfold
strain my freshly quiet
softly
drying
sky
