frosted lake

frozen rose petals
ephemeral perfection
limp in the sun

etched in white
each tree in the park
winter’s enchantment

moving shadows
shapes upon the frosted glass
a siren passes

SOURCE
In the darkness of time, covered in cobwebs and dust, an old man sits inside an abandoned house.
§
Reflecting upon the years that had sped past him, wondering if it had been worthwhile, indeed he pondered, should he keep going on, his anxiety grew.
 §
Visions of abandonment came to him, how often he’d felt alone, how often he’d left without a word;  now here he stood in an old abandoned house full of fear.
§
Awakening suddenly from his dusty dream, fear and anxiety made his heart pound painfully, his lips were dry and a tear trickled down his cheek.
§
Looking around him, he saw  bright sunshine stream into his room, making dust motes swirl like dervishes before his eyes – he rolled over and kissed his wife.
