Looking
out at a world
so
very familiar to me now
like
an old faded photograph
still
and silent below
with
its grainy consistency
of
that ever falling snow
Looking
out from afar
locked
in illusive inner safety
long,
slow and lost in the cold
of
life's monotony ...
until
I noticed them frollicking
abandoned
in their happy activity
Looking
out with a smile
for
many other coats wet and torn
so
contagious is their vitality
I
no longer feel so worn
for
if by life I'm tamed, I'm saved
by
the continuity of life I've born
Looking
out in memory
my
soul lifts high with their delight
non
stop tackling, falling, rolling
all
dimness they turn bright
and
in their wreckless energy
I
find a quiet warm peace inside!
