"Song to Claire" (Feb 2007)

No one walked with me
In the falling snow
Your smile kept me warm
At seven below.

Silent my snowprints
And no wind blew.
As the dusk came on
I thought of you.

Gray clouds turned red,
Then charcoal instead,
The sun’s ember in bed
And cold. Then
The darkness fell
And the stars came out
And the moon rose full
And golden-
And th’beauty made
An ache in my chest
And it made my heart
Feel shattered.
Splendor and starlight,
Magic at midnight,
This was the night
That mattered.

My longing for you
Has made me a fool
And my heart has become
Your token-
And th’beauty made
An ache in my chest
And it made my heart
Feel broken.
