              Winter Mood

Through sheer layers of mist
the fading sound from a distant train;
down the street houses look like ghosts
with their dark hollow eyes, reflecting
no more than the coldness outside;
footsteps bounce back from silence
in this vacuum coloured by grays,
where the living are not to be found,
yet one lone soul still wanders around.

              F.M. Hartstra

    The Glass Pavilion

Coincidence is like the stone
which shatters the glass pavilion
into a ruin of a thousand pieces.
Crystal clear the realization,
acceptance of the known;
unprotected in translucent light-
the truth lies naked. Revealed
in the mirrored fragments,
still the fragile flower of love.

          F.M. Hartstra
