looking out the window into
white
white
branches layered
by
white
on days like
this one
you might
try if you want
to try do this:
sit down in a chair
and stare outdoors
watch the snow
fall and fall and fall
steadily
shifting
slanting
blowing
dancing
whirling
fluffing
howling
drifting
sifting
a fury
of white
ever down
watch
just
white.
just
white.
just watch.
maybe you start
to see
grey and
brown and
the palest
of greens
and the willows
muted gold
close your eyes
breathe
slowly
in white
out white
and
in
and out
go white inside
feel how that
feels to feel
white
see how that
looks behind
your eyes inside
your chest
and arms
and legs
do that for a
minute
or two
or ten
pay attention
and then
if you
feel
moved,
pick up a
pen a pencil
a marker
a paintbrush
and do whatever
makes you smile.
