MIST OF SNOW AND LIGHT

Mist of snow and light surround me now and
Lay on a kind of trance.
Nostalgia for soft, gentle, times.
The best of life itself.

Listen!

Golden painted chimes
Hung on the tree outside.
Light flakes of snow drifting
Down upon them.
Teaching of snow in the 
Passive settling in.
Lays on a kind of peace
And quietness to the world.

A scattered deck.   Played by a fool Hanging upside down Now from a tree.   Striving to be free He drew them down Face by face into Monotony.   Water spent. The jokers turning wild And the aces picked up Tossed by the wind.   Slowly twisting downward From a branch The desert player Grasping for a final round.
