More and more, I am
Conscious of mortality...
Mine, also my friends.

"Be happy and safe."
From a friend who is in pain
And whom I can't help.

And when I return,
The dog leaps up, hugging me
Welcoming me home.

Between gale force winds
And a winter thunderstorm...
One more sleepless night.

When I look outside,
All I see is a sea of white...
Snow driven by wind...

I'm old and tired
And I don't want to be me...
But who else is there?

Some nights, I can't sleep.
Other nights, I don't want to...
Because I have dreams.

I feel older and
Less at peace than usual
As I lie awake.

As my brother says,
"Snow is a four-letter word."
With more on the way.

A day to reflect.
Too many martyrs have died.
Work still to be done.

The snow's almost gone;
In its place, a vast expanse
Of mud and brown grass.

Back to work today.
I have often forgotten
How much fun it is.

(Of course, it's only part-time.)

Outside the window,
A soft drip, drip, drip persists--
Snow slowly melting.

Dozing in my chair,
Waking to the nightly news,
Nothing I want to hear.

Outside my window,
I see a world that's all in
Shades of black and white.

(The astute reader will gather
that the first week of the new
year has been cold and snowy.)

A strange day. Silence,
Nothing moving, just the wind
And trees seem alive.

In bed, not sleeping,
I watch shadows on the wall
Dancing with the wind.

A north wind, shaking
Snow from the trees, gave our dog
A white winter coat.

Snow drifting around
Our doors, almost weightlessly
Keeping us inside.

In the dark of night
The falling snow makes the sky
A swirling white mist.
