ABSENCE

The white covered landscape looks empty,
akin to words left unwritten on a blank page,
after page.

You can still appreciate the arresting hush,
before a thickening snowfall. It heightens the spirit -
brings close the absence of otherness.

It proceeds to blot and distance the familiar tree
that stands alone in a field.

Your eyes drift to the sky pointing evergreens:
heavily endowed with ermine - a majestic embracing.

It is still wondrous to see apparitional flecks descend:
each one a unique star. A short lived DNA
from nowhere, gathering whiteness to whiteness,
until they fade, anonymously.
