rocking, out
Tonight, a rock smiled at me.
Jagged and crooked and sloping downwards,
as if the snow cover
gave him the comfort
to reveal his true rockiness
to me, alone.
As I trudged past
he opened up, tectonically, and I swear
I almost saw his eyes too.
I stopped to take notice
my snowy wake suspended,
and he froze, slightly agape,
pretending to not exist.
But I know better.
I know there was a smile -
a dark and halfway formed crevasse -
and I am almost positive
that when I turned to continue,
out of the corner of my eye,
there was wink.
thank you for that.
there is so incredibly much beauty and splendor in the snowy chaos that descended upon us... and it's so terribly important not to lost sight of all the best aspects of it.
your rock may have been winking at you, but I think the moon was fairly grinning and beaming at all of us last night, admiring its own reflection in the fluffy white blanket below.
