Breaking Free
Roller Coaster
Have you ever
Been On a
Roller coaster
In freezing rain?
Do you know
What it’s like
To have
Hail
Falling
Like stinging bees
On your face
And cold wind
Pushing against you
Like a moving current
That wants to
Pull you
Under
You’re breath
Is taken away
And your heart
Pounds
Against your ribs
Hard

December
December
Dark early mornings
Sometimes the sun comes out
And sometimes it gets stuck
Behind grey clouds
People are bundled up in down
Holding steaming mugs
It’s another day
Of Montreal winter
I never liked the winter
Hated the cold
The slush
The ice
But the first fall
Of snow
Always takes my breath
Away
A white blanket
Of fallen crystals
So beautiful
So soft
I forget to hate
My gloves come off
Fingers reaching
To hold
Delicate little figures
I am transfixed
And sad at the same time
In a few hours
Pure white
Will turn in to
slushy grey

one day
Early and bright
Ready to go
Ready to start
A step in the day
And already there is
Something
That makes her heart
Stop
She tries to pretend
To make as if not
To go on her way
Ignoring her heart
But visions
Intrude
And she can’t forget
The missing piece
Torn from her heart
Spirit Remembered
Filled with life
Children gather round
Happiness all around
The sun shines strong
And everyone is joyful
Yet no one sees
Dark clouds
Waiting…
Days pass And weeks
People start to take for granted
What they have just been given
They do not notice
The clouds approach
And yet they wait
For the precise time
And it comes
The sun is gone
Darkness fill the sky
Left alone
No one is there to watch
As a life is taken
A life that has just been given
And as the clouds pass
No sun appears
Rather sadness and anger
Fills the night air
