Snowy Cracking Sidewalks
Walking down
cold snowy cracking sidewalks
of my Colorado streets.
Glimpses into homes and souls
whole families, sitting together,
side by side,
smiles on their faces.
Framed portraits
by bungalows and bricks.
Though toppling teen years,
longings deep and wide
for whole families,
sitting together
wearing kindness on their faces.
Work called me from my dreams
from my fantasies of what could have been
should have been.
I left behind
my snowy cracking sidewalks (back to duties);
my heart, snow flurries and
whole families in their
moated castles.
