Snow falls
swirls around
the snowman, standing
patiently ‘midst the flurries.
Flakes begin
to settle; calmness seems
to have found its place.
then someone picks it up,
shakes it with glee
and the flakes storm
chaotically…
Dreams hopes goals
and desires
always flitting just beyond
my grasp.
Just as the begin to settle
earth shakes send them
scattering helter skelter
forever unattainable.
