Snow drifting downward
Dogs barking at every car
Waiting for silence

Soft blue winter scape
Three crows flying into dawn
Cattails are shriveled

waiting amongst trees
sitting silent with my kid
a shot seals the deal.

lying in my bed
I watch light grow  through my glass
thinking of my day

driving into snow
under a dirty orange sky
waiting for sunlight

new snow on old ice
I sit waiting for my kids
enjoying the light
