Snowy Day Reflection

Snowy Day Reflection
--
Snow dusting outside
as so on the inside
When will I stop worrying
if I have said too much?
Snow dusting outside
will give way to wind and blizzard;
What storm in me is forming
whose beginning these flakes touch?

Silver bright skies outside
the air is cold this morning
When will hibernation end,
brain and body stretch anew?
Preparing for that springtime
and with cold still to wait out,
I curl into warm centers
and dream of sunfire when it's through.

And yet this time has purpose,
this discomfort a reminder,
This time of still reflection
is like seeds in frozen ground.
Although they cannot grow yet,
they know the day is coming
when their roots know warmer soil,
when their blossoms will be found.
