Seasons Alike

Winter whispers

Icy words drifting on chilled winds.

Double socks, heavy boots

Crunch of ice

underfoot.

Walk one way, and one way only

Create a set of footprints frozen.

Hot coco with marshmallows

Crisp laughter with an older sister.

Snow days, sleep in late

Gray skies, overcast

Cold stars burning bright

Or hazy purple due to clouds.

And in the morning

Snowflakes erase all traces

of yesterday.

Until, at last, it fades all together.
