Sunshine Mourning
Take in the sound as a whet;
the crunching of snow
under the night
where frost waits for the air's embrace.
There peers the solitude breath
of nothing less than insignificance
and fear
that winter's end draws never near.
Morning pierces, glinting lazy;
Clumsy fingers of ardor.
Silver turns gold
when the moon relents and dawn pours forth.
Glass on the pond in the back
shimmers, and glints, and settles.
That gleam
insists the cold was just a dream.
