Snow Angel

                                                    


With the snow falling this weekend, I was reminded of a snow fall last year when we had an unexpected visitor. We had parted the curtains to see how deep the snow was. There he was, this weary, thin one, taking a break from what angels do, just resting on a chilly night, basking in the moon light on our deck chair. He didn't light long. When next we looked, he had taken flight with others never seen.

Snow Excuse

                                                                     
                                                     The leaf girl and I have weathered
                                                                all kinds of storms.
                                                             She, no worse for wear.
                                                                Coming where ever
                                                                              I go,
                                                                    strategically set
                                                                         to gaze in
                                                                         and assess
                                                                       my progress.
                                                                    Today she sees
                                                                   me sip green tea
                                                                   and hears me hum 
                                                                      with the heater,
                                                                           all cozy.
                                                                       Her eyes drill
                                                                         impatience.
                                                               What are you waiting for?
                                                                       If she had feet
                                                                        one would tap
                                                                soundless disapproval
                                                                          in the snow.
