Peaked out and everything was covered
White—some things totally invisible—visioning
Helpless immobility burdens once always conquered.
Background sunlight caste dull-white shadows
Across bright white once pale green grass groundings
Where excited dogs left frozen scented echoing footprints.
Wow, who would have imagined that warm yesterday
Was, as if fall had challenged winter to show her cold face?
Well, weary winter just burst out in all her agonizing beauty!
And now, here we sit in an even more distancing atmosphere
With its own chilling pandemic overtones of melting running water
Wetting wishful dreams frozen into no-show snow, slippery tomorrow!
