You find yourself looking at windows
that filter the glare of winter,
how the days seem to bind against
shadows of light still posted in silence.
The wind brings slight changes to
drifts of glistening snow
exciting them in a mild dance of
dreams for second thoughts begining.
Your breathe creates it's own dance
upon the paine of glass
to which it freezes your life
in some far out comprimise of hope.
And you swim in your anarchy,
not wanting to move foward
only to drift in indiference
letting second and third chances leave.
What passes as hope and sanity
is fake, long ago departed
dreams that you cannot quite remember
but swear you still have the taste.
Then along comes the snow,
not really cleansing, just a cover
letting your fears subside for a bit
as the first tear falls, and you breathe.

yes, oh  yes, as if frozen and you want to move but you can't.  I like this very, very much.
