Some poems:

I Awoke Tonight. You Did Not.

I awoke tonight. You did not.

The curtains drawn, there was no light.

Awake, alone, drowned in my thoughts.

I heard a sound, stretched out and taut

like the entire ocean wide.

I awoke tonight. You did not.

But you heard nothing; nothing odd.

You slept on, resting on your side.

Awake, alone, drowned in my thoughts.

I did not know if I heard God

or the quiet sounds of night.

I awoke tonight. You did not.

I could not share my lonely thought

as I watched you sleep tonight.

Awake, alone, drowned in my thoughts.

The mighty silence that I sought,

echoes loudly behind your eyes.

I awoke tonight. You did not.

Awake, alone, deep in my thoughts.

Unexpected

Snow that sleeps

on mountain peaks

will be rudely surprised

when spring arrives.
