The light behind the clouds
is brighter today than it has been
they are not grey, a whiteness glows
as if they glow from deep within
A patch of blue here, a patch of blue there
breaking through as the porch suddenly shines
in a burst of color and sunlight
upon sleds of brightly colored plastic
and wooden ones from when i was young,
long considered antiques
but compared to the newer models
they seem dangerous, fast and sleek
Soon enough there will be the test
as the squirrels lie huddled and snuggled
in their warm winter's nest
Where i will leave my trail
can be any body's guess
but i'll never be too old to sled...
