a soul
hovers... amidst
the universal stream
life a leaf...
floats upon the river
spinning in lazy circles
as we are
drawn into the dreams
of thoughts we've entertained
yet, never quite attained...
inclined to become
caught in the eddies
of life's flow
as shades of gray
begin to climb into...
the gathering
of... the souls...
overcast skies,
adrift in
rainy day dreams
oh, as the sleepy rise
eyes half closed
get another
blanket
put another log on
winter's
coming,
fast
