February Chill

The sun popped out without the moon
  just about half passed noon,
the late morning rise peaked
 played it's game of hide and seek
 push pulling clouds left and right 
it was a clandestine escape delight
 chasing the over laying dark of night.

A familiar haze creeped along the surfaces below
 a blending of warm air and melted cold snow
waiting on spring's long  arrival wait
 beyond the barrier of the garden gate
 the chill of February along the remote estate,
a storm waiting to be revealed
 layered inches beyond appeal.

Trees shivered flexing against the chill
 and once again, snow flakes spilled.
