Roses in the Snow
there’s a soft glow
of light
just outside her door
it stayed lit
while she was away
growing brighter
by the day
ever bright
at her return
and the birds and squirrels
all know
it was not an easy go
so the birds sing a little louder
and the squirrels play a little longer
and there’s a hummingbird
vibrating just outside her window
he peeks in
for a millisecond
stopping time
but nobody ever sees him
but her
he’s waiting
for Spring
and his feeder
to be filled
to the rim
