The wind blows a gale;
I must fetch a sweeping brush.
Fresh air in the room

The wind blows a gale;
I must fetch a sweeping brush.
Fresh air in the room

Sheltered in the church
I lit a votive candle
in the silent space

Delicate beauty
Sweet fragrance filling the room
In welcome silence

Walking on the ice
My short measured steps back home,
In all conditions

In life as in death,
alone, my inward journey —
amongst all seasons
