The snow
rests thick and white
on distant roofs.

A white mist
fills the air.

Light falls
as now reveals
the white house,
the life
I might have lived.

A woman
in the kitchen
makes a meal.
The kids
tell Dad
of their day in school.

At night,
the man, with his wife,
lies in bed,

amid the silence
of white walls.

the life we don't have, we always want

like a voyeur...

great stuff.  I still watch with envy when I see a little girl with a loving father...ah yes, the life we might have had...
