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.
