Winter Storm

The snow slipped in
(we watched for it all day long)
Like a secret lover slipping out of town,
All that we saw (when we finally saw)
Were the footprints showing where he
Had been but had not been seen.
 
The snow slipped in,
(a morning surprise for us all)
It left us believing in miracles
(that a lover could leave so quietly).
And leaving us humming
“The Tennessee Waltz”.

(2009)
