Shadows

moonlight in the trees-
silently a cold wind shifts
shadows on the snow
–
long shadows-
the warm wind
walks me home

a quick glimpse into
the recesses of my soul
is all I can bear
–
sinister clouds-
reflections of
black water

falling amber rain
collecting in brackish pools
under a street light
–
a moment
flash lit raindrops
suspended in time

a shaft of sunlight
pierces the dirty window
and falls to the floor
