A Winter Day
I watched the sun rising
As my thoughts danced about
Like an unfettered kite
Lost in a hurricane
The smell of freshly fallen snow
Filled the world outside my door
As I grabbed my coat
And went for my morning walk
The fields
Once filled with brown grass
Now appeared like a white blanket
Haphazardly cast over the land
This was the first winter snow
The beginning of what was to come
It was like a fortuneteller speaking
In cold, icy words
Today I chose the path to the left
Which led by the ice-covered river
Which had frozen over
Several weeks before
While the sun darted about
So very high in the sky
That try as it might
Couldn’t warm the earth or me
It was a winter’s day
And no matter how hard I tried
Without you
There was no warmth to be found
