Excerpts from " Winter Symphony, 2011 "

Robin, my Love,
This Winter Music is for you and from you
I shall never forget our Day in the Mountains...
You, in your grace,
Your eyes,
Your dreams...
How do you see?
What do you see?
As One, as Always, Together...
We witness Her Storms,
Her sweet strong Mysteries...
                                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No tree escapes her dark wild Mood

With each new Breath, she buries all;

Ancient firs, spindly saplings

Bow hardy boughs in supplication

Branches freeze in awed stark terror

Her fury humbles Mohonk Mountain

~~~

Unions born of Her frigid exhalation

Thwarted escapes create icy mansions;

Shrieks! A Universe is born!

Beneath cold arbors, Lean, tiny siblings!

Hold each other, fierce survivors;

Witness her torment upon your Mountain!

Cling to each other as she fills your Universe with Storm!

Desperate lovers, reach for each other,

Your limbs, how they twist against Her strength!

Unnatural poses!? Your bodies meld;

your backbones bend in defiance of break

in Her cold designs;  your ice-bound love...

Cleave! Receive her sleety anesthesia...

A new Life is born

A separate Universe formed, 
here on high, 
atop January's Mohonk Mountain
