This winter

This winter, O this winter

has been, and is, one of memories


when we embraced cold and snow

when we bundled up within layers of clothing

when we walked in sunshine exhaling ice crystals

when we cheered at the slap of pucks from backyard rinks

when we squinted through toques and scarves

when we laughed at lopsided snow-men

when we filled bird-feeders twice a day

when we carved tunnels in snow banks


when we were just present,

without a care in the world


This winter, O this winter

has been, and is, a remembrance of life
