No one
Not a child
Looks all that good
On a drab gray winter day

At the train station
Even the young
Men and women
Are struggling
With the cold

Or perhaps
It has more to do
With life no longer being so
Undetermined in its hours

That will now grow to years
Almost without trace or residue
Covered over by the snow

are we in Wyoming, with all of its blue skies
or in Illinois, where the gray seems to subsist
over factories and dungie gaming places;
are we where horned beings still leap in game,
or where dreams find a sill in summer's light?

John, I do so enjoy
when you inspire thought.

I agree with Sunshine, you do inspire thought.

then the snow will melt
outlining a trail
to encouraged hope
of fruitful friendships
that ask for nothing
but safe well wishes

Enjoyed the reads ... best wishes
