*Woman With White Rose* 70" H X 28" W Oil On Linen

Days
Fall
Together,
Fractals
Of
Themselves,
Endless
Replications
Of
Various
Vocations.
All
Combine
Then
Suddenly,
The
Last
Is
Here,
To
Become
The
New
Year.
In
Our
Hopeful,
Futile,
Way,
We
Mark
The
Imagined
End,
Time
As
Always,
Our
Fickle
Friend.

Morning
Gray,
Light
Rain
Has
Come
To
Wash
Away
The
Holiday.
Neighbor’s
Giant
Plastic
Snowman,
Puffed
Full
Of
Empty
Air,
Grins
On,
Tips
His
Hat,
And
Doesn’t
Care.

The
Week
Hangs
Suspended
Between
Two
Holidays,
One
Ended,
One
To
Begin
The
Whole
Thing
Again.
This
Year
Melts
Like
Snow,
No
Time
Left
To
Know
More
Than
I Did
Before
Time
Shuts
The
Door.

Charming
Miss
D.
Woke
To
Find
A
Naked
Man
Under
Her
Christmas
Tree.
‘Glory
Be,’
She
Cried,
‘Are
You
For
Me?’
‘Indeed,
Sweetheart,
For
I Perceive
You
Are
In
Need
Of
A
Phantom
Lover,
So
Let’s
Get
Back
Under
Your
Warm
Cover.’
‘But
Sir,’
She
Demurred,
‘Although
It
Would
Be
Pleasant,
I Cannot
Accept
Such
A
Scandalous
Present.’
‘Nay,’
He
Replied,
‘You
Will
Soon
Learn
A
Fellow
Like
Me
Can’t
Be
Returned.’
So
There
They
Were,
And
We
Must
Agree,
Best
Look
Carefully
Under
Your
Tree.

Seeking
A
Fresh
Start,
A
Change
Of
Heart,
Not
In
Another
Time
And
Place,
But
Here,
In
This
Chosen
Space.
Turn
Slightly
To
The
Left,
So
As
Not
To
Feel
Bereft,
And
Through
The
Elm
Tree’s
Winter
Tangle,
See
This
Life
From
Another
Angle.

*Stone Angel* Carved Desert Alabaster 15 1/2" Tall 46 Pounds

The
Question
Is,
The
Rules
Are,
The
Limits
Firmly
Set,
No
Room
Here
For
Regret.
The
Way
Is
Clear,
But
Maybe
Not
This
Year,
The
Line
Is
Drawn,
Margins
Gone,
Blank
Pages
Yawn.
Sure
As
Water
Seeks,
Weeks
Become
Years,
Tears
Dry
In
Every
Eye,
Smiles
Go
On
For
Miles,
Answers
Slide
Away
On
Ice,
And
Every
Velvet
Word
Must
Be
Said
Twice.

A
Frozen
Feather
Boa
Of
Cloud
Rests
On
The
Mountain
Crest,
And
Shrugs
Along
To
The
Breast
Of
Cluttered
Hills
In
A
Tumble
Of
Icy
Chills.
Twenty
Degrees
Here,
But
Up
There
I Fear
My
Blood
Would
Freeze
And
Down
I’d
Fall,
To
Become
A
Thoroughly
Frosty
Snowball.

Under
A
Hush
Of
Snow,
Frost
Crushed
Violets
Grow.
Icicles
Drop
From
The
Rooftop,
Translucent
Blades,
Winter
Made,
Glisten
In
The
Shade
Of
Bushes
Stiff
With
Cold,
As
This
Year
Becomes
Old,
Spring
A
Distant,
Wished
For
Thing
New
Violets
Will
Bring.

Tra
La,
Tra
La,
Let
The
Iceberg
Of
Love
Begin
To
Thaw,
Around,
Below,
And
Above,
To
Flood
Our
Land
With
Song,
Where
All
Peoples
Belong,
West
To
East,
From
Great
To
Least,
And
Join
Distant
Spirits
In
This
Coming
Winter
Feast.
