Beyond me;
Anticipation of the glittering white
As if to play in video within my thoughts
So joyously chocolate paws in powdered sugar
And engines roar beneath you just ahead
The cold comes, and it will not cease
I look upon ice sculptures in the leaves
Hanging like bangles from the trees
My shadow lengthens toward the afternoon
The quiet is welcome and endless across the meadow
Deer stand along the edges of shy, finding sparse graze
Meeting my gaze
My fingers are cold...it's not the same sky
Perhaps the day has found itself so shy
Just cabin fever...
Yearning for the fireplace, thinking of a certain face
Time could pass away, forgetting the abandoned path
The colors that have walked us...just as emotions talked us through the curves
The smell of pine is pretty in the new snow, clean
Undiscovered without print, the winds blow
My heart beats in the rhythms of extraordinary things
Dreams that reoccur with silver wings
The sweeping up to unbound joy, rummaging the everlast
without a practiced ploy
Walking toward the warm to settle differences,
Spiriting with pure intention truly gold
The tongue and groove that builds this home
still sweet once cut and polished
The steps are just as warm,
And would you,
I sit down
And remember how I love you.

I found this passage extremely welcoming
even if the winds blow, and the snowflakes swirl

Thank you, Kathleen.
