These desolate days
of wasted space when
time becomes
the movement of water —
droplets raining
from unfrozen snow
lounging on the roof.
Tree branches leap
from frigid cover —
undulating from confines
to seek the sharp winter
sun. Beacon of time
that shines crystal clear
on this day as meaningless
as the thousand days before.

Thank you! But, I sort of “cheated” on this post as it was a poem written years ago! 🙂 Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
Blessings, Marissa
