A WINTER LOVE SONG (SILENCE)

there are times when

winter silence

is not a question
but an answer

a gift, a moment

to caress the one
sleeping beside you

silently

a time for a green—no,
a blue remembering

                        and at those moments

silence
is a love song
a winter’s dream keener

than snowflakes
