Day 37
We stay up observing snow fall
together wrapped warmly in a blanket
silent fairies dance to Earth
prodded by hungry winds
send flecks
skyward
Lightning arches across the livid sky
A low growl chases soon after
I feel you edge yourself closer
Another ripple fulminates
the window turns opaque
I can see your face, turned towards me
So I move mine to meet yours
The thunder shakes the house
My heart leaps
At once your head is on my shoulder, watching
blizzard of dancing crystals
shapes manifest
waves of fallen icy stars
howling wind
raise pillars of glass
wind and snow
thunder and lightning
natures unfocused
uncaring
presence
watching the window
seeing you watch out
pixies playfully dance
in your eyes
Got to enjoy the first snowfall in awhile and although the show didn't occur quite as poetically. I like to think that most memories can be playfully rewrote to be a bit more exciting. Not that having kids trashing your house isn't a fun time, most days.
Sometimes for my own health its nice to take a mental voyage to a place where a moment is as easy as sitting watching the snow fall.
