winter sun


This poem was written on a cold winter morning in the North.

winter sun
written february 5th, 1995

laying stretched in bed
after sleeping all night
all night in my head
with the walls up

i open my eyes
the winter sun
winter sun burning bright
bright and white and pure

winter sun is such a contrast
sparkling off the cold snow
cutting through the crisp air
brightness the only thing left of its heat

i feel the walls go back down in my head
i shut my eyes the blinding brightness
and let the sun make its way unaided

into my self
can it make its way around the walls?
find its way through the maze?
discover all the secret places?

winter sun doesn't have vision or reason
it isn't confused by the barriers i put up
by the false walls that i have built
or the inaccurate signage

for a few minutes
on this cold winter morning
in spite of my defenses
the winter sun illuminates all of me

The word "signage" makes me laugh. I was in library school at the time. I'm sure it's a word from my studies and work that crept into this poem.

Wow... That poem is a few years old.
Do you recall where you were when you wrote it? 🤔
Funny thing... Usually by this time of year, we should have tons of the white stuff on the ground; yet this year, so far, nothing. 🤔

I was in college at UIUC in central Illinois. It was a snowy day outside and I can still see it when I read the poem.

I woul d love to see the winter sun
Del it warm on my face
For the clouds date in places
Even with the winds the sound is erased
If not it could break though
My thoughts of you would warm me too
Xoxoxo
There it is it peeks at me 10:45 I can see
The sun the sun brighten my day
Like your smile in ever way.

I want to take you into the fiery lair of steamy sexual delight on this hot sultry night.
