Questions on a Cold Winter Night

December 11, 2009 by Claire Affleck  

Skaneateles Winterfest, Claire Affleck Training
Bitter wind races across the frozen ground
Like the thoughts speeding through my mind
Twisting, turning, tossing
We live inside our own heads
Wish I could open mine up to see
Yearning to figure it all out!
And then
The sun on the horizon delivers
Illumination and warmth to chase the cold uncertainty away
No mystery, no questions, nothing left to figure out
No cause for worry
It’s already here
The answer is in your smile, a kind word, a child’s laughter, a bird’s song, a dance, a hug, LOVE.
