I will leave the light on
For you and those still lost.
I will leave the light on
For nights when stars hide most.
I will leave the light on
Even if some say I’m wrong.
I will leave the light on
So you know that you belong.
I will leave the light on
During storms and gale and snow.
I will leave the light on
Just so you see and know.

Side by side
They keep near
In the wind
In the rain.
Limb to limb
They hold hands,
Close company
They maintain.
Friends in all
Friends in fall.

As cold wind blows
And worries grow,
Squirrel away
Soul sustenance
And stash fresh hope.
As harsh congeals
And harm leans close,
Squirrel away
Good words of heart:
They’ll help you cope.

May you find a place of comfort
May you have someone to hold
May your heart be soothed to purring
May your spirit not be cold
May cruel winters turn kind summers
May you hear true stories told
May you leave behind the sorrow
May you see the good unfold.

I see you
Taking steps
Into faith
And thin air,
Holding hope
Like a rickety railing
Buffeted by winds
That had blown away
Trust in
A safe step
Anywhere.

Take heed where
Out of the blue
Slides a clear
Frozen flue,
Weeping ice
Telling you
That more change
Is in queue.

How will I know
The taste of freedom
If I am locked
Inside a cage?
How will I find
A true horizon
When I am of
Tender age?
Where will my parents be
Tomorrow?
Will army men
Lock them away?
How will I know
If I will get to see them
Once again
One day?

Decades shut
Behind closed shores
What old stories
Had you told
Of not so distant
Wars?
Weathered by
Time and lore
What future resides
Behind Cuba’s
Sealed doors?
For the Weekly Photo Challenge: Door closes

When disparaging fails
Tests of fact
Tests of time,
It unveils petulance
As little more than
A whine.
So beware of repeating
Lies that weigh down
Truth’s vine,
For they lead not
To good spirits
But to crossing red lines.
