The First November Snow
Absent Love

This item accepts reviews only.
                                       The frost covers my den window,
                                       Wisps of Earl Grey float like white clouds
                                       Covering the panes with its shrouds,
                                       As I peer at the falling snow
                                       And watch trees bend as the winds blow—
                                       There I sit resting my elbow.

                                       There’s a reflected glow on glass.
                                       The orange flames from the fireplace
                                       Mix with the frost and give it chase
                                       As heat radiates through the brass
                                       Doors allowing the warmth to pass
                                       Into the season of white grass.

                                       My back absorbs and warms to it
                                       And my mind drifts to the year past;
                                       My lifetime lived and passed so fast.
                                       The year life granted my permit
                                       To erect joy and to emit
                                       Happiness through the tiny slit.

                                       Just as the warmth is at my back
                                       And the frost forms before my eyes,
                                       So it is with the year’s goodbyes.
                                       Happiness seeks out the small crack
                                       Because where glow was lives the black,
                                       Like the frost and snow, formed from lack.

                                       The warmth of life is left behind
                                       And the future is frosty cold.
                                       I look ahead my back to old
                                       And in my old, my smile I find.
                                       The smile forms within my mind
                                       As I see the face there confined.

                                       I feel the glow spreading on me
                                       As the warmth fills the frosty void;
                                       The space where emptiness deployed
                                       The darkness like a raging sea; 
                                       Darkness where within there’s a wee
                                       Smile hidden by a sip of tea.
