Momentarily

like a branch
in winter's wrath
weighted down
pale and bare
ready to snap
coming undone
drooping 
downward
numb
to touch

then the sun
smiles
on you
the warmth
melts your heart
just enough
to lift you
back up

even if only
until the next
blizzard comes
and burdens you
again you are free
momentarily

Perfect for this time of year and any season of life when a bright spot warms the coldness within. Nice image.

Bravo, meteorologist! This is exactly how winters work (at least for me). Welcome the interludes!! Cheers, Gershon
