Verse doodles for February 11, 2010

I
If you
give birth
to the moon

what will you
call it

and where
will you hide it

for others
to discover?

II
In winter
the quiet lake
does not resist
the ice or
its cool blue embrace

III
across the night field
the tiny diamonds sparkle
to the stars' delight

IV
Let me find you
in the morning
in the sleeping bed

let me find you
in the evening
with the stars crowning your head

let me find you
in winter
not lost to the snow

let me find you
in summer
where the late strawberries grow

let me find you
in the fragrance
of a wild red rose

let me find you
in the answers
to the questions that I pose

let me find you
reaching for me
through the swirling fear

let me find you
in this tense world
if you are not already here
