Like the Birch tree as it breathes
whispering to me
there are ice crystals somewhere in the stratosphere
about to make their way to earth
the time when a layer of gold treads across the horizon
as the moon's gravitational halos beam
defying velocity of the water breaching our atmosphere
dusk looming to wrap the moonlight around you
the trees are exasperated by the cold
swaying as they exhale
catching snowflakes with their limbs
until dawn's dew point
sun kissed by the warmth of solar flares
the apricity glow emulsifying snow on the branches
and instantly freezes
the temperatures refusing to rise

In Love and War
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. The meander tiara had been thought about as the countesses united before the queen was moved. While the Crown of Strathmore Rose Tiara had been coronated and moved to a different palace also. “The true dexterity is not just in books. Although books have kept ancient secrets alive.”- (Princess Diana) They addressed the recent ordeal by a lawyer letter to the responding member of the family from Parliament’s heir. The French revolutionary war comes to mind and the reign of Queen Elizabeth I still giving way to modern day. The orientation for the future endeavors began with the Americas state Kentucky. The Federal Forest Service had career orientation and how to approach an investigation from the underworld. The ordeal was not over at the arrest of the “accessories”. Upon the return the mountain range was ringing and a personnel approached the home. The first time I had ever been asked of for Princess treatment. Where has this decade gone since and what frosted courtships unveiled intimate details of ties to the family as I quartered their homes. They asked of an intimate person to the family to be lead on a further investigation. It wasn’t just that this since estranged respondence was being separated from the family again. The history of Princess Holly as a countesses is overwhelming in the essences of time and being saved evasively. The appeal has not been denied for a year since. The harkened feeling yet another account of war. Our earlier years of fury became about intimacy and betrayal. The intimate encounters and the evasive demeanors gave heir to new instincts. Who writes of the sequel to Of Love and War in the Art of War and the truths of the betrayals and manipulations.
