WINTER DREAM

Evening falls early

Dark skies

Occasional sunset with

Magical coloring

Paints trees and towers

Freeing us of any thought

Leaving us alone with wonder

Reflection on childhood

And neighborhood friends

Who amongst them

Would you like to share

All that nature has brought you

The dreaming then of

These possibilities

Where would they be

And what do they see

As they look out at

Nature’s scene and

Could they possibly

Every think of me

My laughs and screams

No guessing

Or worries

We take what is here

Wish everyone well

What we had is gone

We wandered on

By chance or plan

What we have is here

Not in yesteryear

The past was good

Today has new needs

Provided by us and

Our new family of

Dreaming friends
