when darkness seems to linger,
Crisp air breathes through hearts
beneath a canopy of azure skies
Gone, the heat of summer's sun
of sultry evening laughter
and in its place, a bracing wind
brings night a crystal clarity
so cold now, a Franklin fire heats
shadows conversing with memories
events collapsing in time, piling fast
against frosted holiday windows
a peaceful quiet beckons
the crunch soon underfoot
as paths of life are traced through
a crystallized maze of whiteness
synchronous seasons
stillness deeply woven falls
winter nymphs flutter Fate’s
mystery exhilarates
fresh blankets stir youthful hearts
joyous meanderings create memories
many melted away through time passages
as frigid elders fear this jekyll and hyde
the gloom of winter,
silence is deafening,
we await the Spring,
the wheels will turn,
wheels within wheels
their teeth interlocking
the majestic turning
of quantum mechanics
apogee/perigee
molecules quicken
snow dripping rivers
and sleeping things stir
first warm day
dirty window screen smell
tender sunlit leaves flutter
pillow on the sill, ecstasy
