1/31/2016 2 poems by Scott Thomas OutlarElusive Accord By Scott Thomas Outlar Howling winds kiss my cold cheeks, and I pretend that your fingers are grazing against my skin. Illusions shatter in Winter… I am left with only ice on this path. Walking alone…toward something… somewhere…maybe…perhaps I’ll know it when I find it. Across the distance, hanging on the far horizon, a siren sings her January melody. A lullaby meant to lull me to sleep… but I’d freeze here all alone. Trudging ahead with clear intentions… focused on the future… elusive though it might seem at times. The clock strikes a Midnight chime, and I am the bell tolling. I am the bird whistling while working my way back into the comfort of your warmth.
