the smell of cold coffee
the hush of falling snow
the brightness
and the whiteness
the coldness
and the oldness
of the world in wintertime
and here is my heart
small and feeble
waiting and watching
wondering
wandering
waiting for you
in the dark
and the cold
for your mystery
to illumine
my dusty corners
for your peace
to quiet me
in the snows
of wintertime
truly lovely. thank you
