The North Shore by Leonard M HawkesThe blue-gray cold December moon
Illuminates rising heat;
No wind, only restless frigid air.
Here I stand alone, seek and am sought
Only by the Earth;
The husk, the power of appeal:
The Rod, the Staff, the only persuasion;
But the Soul burns yet,
And with crumbling ash, Moist Truth.
