Holiday Cheer

Today
I love it
St Patricks Day
Start of the holidays
Three weeks of
No work
Much fun
And time to
Reflect and write
Some verse

A Dark Mothers day

Amidst the mists
of time and thyme
the scented dreams
of ages past

You arose a wraith
a fleeing
apparition from the light
a goddess
long dead, cloaked and
secretive

You left the living
unbidden, unloved
mysterious
mother of
the night

Where have all the poems gone?

For many months
They crowded me
Intruding on
My privacy

But now they
Seem to float away
Hiding until
Some other day

When unexpected
They will come
Surprising
Me with
Their fecundity

My lovely poems
Sigh
