This Morning of a Snow

This Morning of a Snow


To lie in bed
this morning of a snow
when neither of us
has to go
anywhere for hours

at least. To sprawl
and talk of what
we hope for.
Better, what we know
the years will bring

and contemplate
just knowing
we can see it all
up there 
on the ceiling

all aglow,
our life 
played out
in color now,
this morning of a snow.
