snow-covered earth

such silence

still divine presence

echoes immortal migrants

all life sustained

darkness comes

suffering touches us

again and again

there is pain

there in the midst of

such harsh barrenness

a cardinal framed in the glass

red light

calling away despair

eternal promise

everything changes and ends

9.

autumn ending

leaves like

fallen soldiers

manmade hard hearts

fighting battles on this once sacred ground

all killing done now

dirt upon dirt

covers all signs of death

memory tamped down

ways to not remember

the disappeared

dying faces

longing to be seen

one lone warrior lives

comes home to the hills

seeking refuge

seeking a place to surrender

the ground where hope remains

and souls surrender
