Winter took my little hope
and buried it deep beneath the snow
unspoiled, untried, on ice it kept
dreamless and still while it slept.

Spring stirred its slumbering passion
newly clothed in flamboyant fashion
nudged that hope from its dormant state
but for full bloom it had to wait.

Summer mornings with dew that glisters
increase the heat until it blisters
hope raises up in this incubation
no longer hidden in isolation.

Autumn cools its hot desire
the trees wave flags of leafy fire
each hope takes flight, then descends
to slumber ‘neath the snow again.

It was in a lift that we met
he was a stranger, I was strange.
I was pressing buttons, in hopes
that the scene would somehow change.

He cast a quizzical gaze
at my constellation of lights,
I whispered my secret. “ I know,”
I said, “the mysteries of the night.”

His face then changed
eyes wide with admiration.
He listened as I explained
the world’s true foundation.

“I can stop time.” I told him.
and hit the red button to prove it.
“Are you a philosopher?” he asked
“or a celestial poet?”

When the doors finally opened
he ran from my sight
disappeared like a cloud of smoke
into the mysteries of the night

A boogery thing to behold
Is my nose running from the cold
The snot is bright green
But it can’t be seen
If I give the tissue a fold
