		<description><![CDATA[i can see the pieces
though pieces they remain
yearning for whole
still
the frustration in
this brokenness is
overcome
by the beauty of each piece
and knowledge of the challenge
and promise that lies ahead

		<description><![CDATA[winter freeze sets in.
optimism its victim,
trapped beneath the ice.
trees of industry
crashing heavy to the ground-
cacophonously. 
houses built on sand,
monuments to mankind&#8217;s greed,
blown into the wind.
