[hometext] => A metaphorical poem
[bodytext] => One thousand paces To the center of this stark landscape. Numb toes crunch the virgin frost, Footsteps are swallowed and erased In a stubborn defiance of my existence. The wind is bitter, A thorough snatcher of warmth and colour, That steals away the coral and peach from my skin. This tree, once majestic, is dying. Rime-ridden and withered roots; Branches that fold in on themselves; A bole so cracked and blackened You wouldn’t believe this tree had ever been young. I climb it, Imposing as it is, Finding footholds in the knots and contortions Scarring the bark. My seat resplendent in the brittle Curving branches, commanding a view Of bleak nothings to the horizon. My fingertips stroke the smallest twigs, Coaxing whispers fall from my lips. Laying my head on the branch My own pulse throbs resonantly In a heartbreaking solo. My sleep on the branch Is dark and troubled with nightmares Of falling down and down Without ever hitting the floor. I am woken by a brilliant light with Warm and radiant beams That work celestially, at once Stirring and enveloping. The frost is melting, Slowly, yes, but beautifully Towards me. Small vibrations Hum in a mellifluous voice Of growth and promise. The transformation is startling. Cracks are sealed back together, Aching joints are stretched, straightened, And life, brilliant life is showing once again. A fallen carpet of flawless white blossom Gives way to a coat of cerulean leaves, Whose gentle rustling against me Sews one thousand of your kisses In my hair.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
