Goodbye to Sochi - winter

Olympians are poets
who play to the stands,
lifting each other
to great heights by their sports' demands.
Nose to nose and toe to toe
launching themselves
as far as athletes can go,
testing the limits
on Russian ice and snow,
it will be sad to say
"goodbye" to Sochi's
"poetry in motion"
that we've come to know...

voice of reminder - winter

 
Bird in the forest
you sing of my past.
Voice of reminder
of what couldn't last.
Cherished emotions
that defy words
surface through the song
of one familiar bird...

The Light - winter

 
The more oppressive
the darkness becomes
the brighter
seems the smallest light...
why is it you don't fold?
Why aren't you freezing
when everyone else has turned cold?
The Light keeps you alive
the Light makes you free
the Light makes others look at you
and say "why isn't that me"?
