Listening to every heart

0 posted 2003-02-24 09:43 PM



Only moments…

they flip by fast,
and scurry by faster,
these last few moments,
as I examined
a computer’s internal external computer
digitalize the temps that had dipped

from 12 to 9 to 7….

only moments now before
zero, and the powers that think they be,
said zero would be all…

only moments will tell
if zero will last…

but with you, moments become lifetime,
with numbers to increase…

and if zero stays zero, then
I will mentally add a 1, a 2, a 3, and more
to the lone zero

and my warmth will be found
in your smile

in my moment
of imagine.

morning oh frozen one... (chuckling)

4 here right now... and wind chill of course below the zero mark. you can watch it dip and you can hear what they say, but until the sun comes up and begins to warm.... it can always go lower.

enjoyed this use of weather and metaphor...
very nicely done.

The temperatures are very low here too Karilea. And, with no heat, it is even colder. I will be so glad when spring gets here. You are indeed a wonderful writer.
