December

By Alexandra Gilbert (Y12)

December,

It didn’t feel like Thursday today,

It’s early December

It doesn’t feel like December.

I’m still back in summer haze,
i miss it and I yearn for snow.

I want to go back,

maybe 20 years,

i might be apart of breeze that

shakes the trees, that

frame the sky, that

shares the light

of morning and of night. 

in nostalgic summer

and estranged winter.

I want to feel more alive, 

like I did in June.

In blades of grass,

lovesick with sun.

Winter fog wraps me,

I wane past love to aspire.

to stretch so far I reach the room,

because the stars are quiet,

and hiding in cloud.

A boat rocks in still water,

hidden by dark evenings,

cradled by the moon.
