"Poems are forever floating through my mind and if I don't catch them pin them to the page they are gone forever and what good is that?"

Frozen ocean

Quicksilver winter sky
muted sunlight gleaming off
clouds like schools of fish
changing direction fast as a thought
platinum becomes white gold
snow dizzy from the rapid descent
its lack of direction
creating a visual cacophony
flakes blown like spiral shells
wind ripping righteous waves
across the drifts of a backyard beach
that has become of the barren forest
there is a new name for magic
written in the sea foam snow
frozen ocean, above and below
