Light, lazy wisps
of fog, and mist, and
snow flurries
fall
hinting at
a someday snowfall
When all around me
everything feels old:
the clouds, the wet pavement,
the flutter of papers on my desk,
the last pages of my weekly calendar,
my tired eyes,
my weary spirit
And here in these days,
I am the gray sky:
neutral, serene,
flat
not unhappy
But if I were twenty again,
or sixteen,
or six,
Would I not find kinship
with the few twinkles
of first snowflakes,
falling like powdered sugar
over the top of a
warm, crisp waffle,
vanilla-scented
and covered in cream?
