Carpet of Snow – Written Saturday 20th January 2024 (Aged 48)

Carpet of Snow

cold creeps in and wraps me up
but it leaves,
a carpet of snow
i look back,
with glass coloured eyes
and i read,
all of those former versions of me
and none of them,
seem that smart
several,
just seem knock kneed
so i sit down,
as the cold creeps in
it leaves me bare,
and entangled in short stories
ones that i write inside my head,
weren’t we all once,
so easily led?
and though it taught us understanding
were any of us that well fed?
