Promise of Christmas

this flurry of snow whirls
to me days of yore when

absorbed in playing 
with a world of White
 
blissfully forgetting 
the toll of 
freezing hands and icy toes
in the heat of 
shiny eyes and cheeks aglow  
 
in the midst of a laugh
we caught the flakes  

on our tongues to taste
the promise of Christmas
