Through Winter Windows

Trace of footfalls
pierce glistening white,
tokens of travellers.
Bygone origins,
trivial destinations.
Blinding reflections as
icy air sneaks through
unseen fissures.
Warmth beckons
and beauty is abandoned.

Antique

Among the dusty musty stalls
they sit.
Once mighty
oak, pine, maple.
Hand-hewn,

hand shined.
Beyond my will
my fingers
caress the grain.
Warm
still full of life.
Made to contain possessions
now harboring history
waiting
to be used again.
