Sensational snowstorms
winter’s landscape, covered
infused yet bereft of light
imposing whiteout
Half-expected, heightened snow
shrouds honest expectance of learned
bliss New Year is known to ignite
renewed spark to those who hope
New life did arrive, through darkness though
as often does, more ways than one: changed
faithful expectancies now void those kind
days that linger on with chosen ones
