Silken Silhouette

there might still be a fist pump punch of wintry blitz
as planet revolves on the north/ south axis
     while completing orbitz.

when blizzards rage and howling

arctic winds did blow

profuse precipitation packed Philadelphia

til white aery mountains did over flow

meteorological heft wrought pinkish glow

polygons pin wheeled and pirouetted

landscape imprint pure as driven snow

diminution of visual acuity

accrued from two score plus nineteen birthdays

still marvel at freeze-dried raindrops

reaction toward crystalline phenomena

continues to grow

kaleidoscope of multitudinous

hydrospheric blitz krieg terrestrial show

metaphor wrapped in supreme whiteness

from singular entities high to low

mother nature imbues testament

teaches to offer self for world to know

as corporeal of flesh and blood

we forget identity among human row

subtle riddle well hidden in molecule

two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen in tow

offer quiet sermon to cherish beliefs

and personal paradigms vis a vis status quo.
