Questions
How brightly beams the glowing sun
rising high in the mid morning sky
warming rooftops to sleek pointed icicle runs
reflecting brilliant, blinding frozen snow upon the eye.
What chill prevails along the earth
floating soft upon the winter breeze
drifting in and out the open hearths
and at last reaching out to touch the sea.
Why would nature play such sly games
oscillating an early tease of spring
while planning a tempestuous ice cold flame
of winter's pounce to be whisked in on hidden wings.
Where has time escaped
passing slow then quickly gone
hidden in past seasons pulled back drapes
then lost to wrinkles, memory and ages dawn.
When did these moments lose their purpose
slip sliding in the melting streams
was I only looking at the surface
or fast asleep living in the dreams.
Who would have guessed
how quick the parade of life passed by
and the most important plans un-addressed
were simply us, just you and I.
