Stealthy Thief
who snatches every breath,
every heartbeat and memory,
- where do you hide?
all the blessings you’ve stolen,
all the forgotten glances,
caresses and kisses?
or safe-house to hide in
with all of those moments
you’ve ravaged and pillaged.
treasure uncounted
in his secret cave in some
great northern mountain,
and lies down upon it
to sleep through the winter
just waiting for springtime
to gather some more.
****from my book A Muster of Melodious Musings (Metaphysical Fox Press, 2025)
