Is this snow or is gravity pulling stars down?
Nowadays, it is hard to distinguish blizzards from Armageddons
and the closer one kneels toward the ground
the sharper are the resounding footsteps. “All in attendance?!”
We arch our necks to look up at the teacher,
but if only one could reach and pull open the curtain
than maybe we’d all look higher and see the creature
staring back at us from the heavens. I’m certain
that once the bell tolls and the school day is finally over,
we will forget the lesson, but not each other.
But as time approaches, the time creeps slower...
to allow me to say “good-bye,” and walk towards my Father.
