Dear Orange Window

Dear Orange Window,

You appear with the predawn moonlight,

in the bouncing arms of earth’s dance,

in the distance

like the thinning veil,

welcoming me

to reflect upon you

and the past year’s trials.

I walk the trails by day

feeling spirits of many realms.

Shadows cascade away

over ice, past budding seeds,

flowers swaying

in heated breeze.

Night-time fires ablaze

like your pretty face.

Back to you—

glowing bright

on my fingertips

in between

then and now,

night and dawn,

awaiting the frost,

the stillness around

the corner toward

golden silence.

Between the ebb

and flow

I know.

And, I thank you.

Love,

Cleo
