A Snowy Kinship

Awakened by the blizzard pounding
A kinship forms with my surrounding

The lighthouse is nearly gone from view
Sea glass must chart its course anew

No pungent chanterelle to be found
As drifting snow obscures the ground

Each snowflake appears as antique lace
The sky keeps falling from outer space

The plum perfect kinship has now arrived
With the blanket of white before my eyes

——

An alternate ending: The plum perfect kinship is now complete, with the blanket of white below my feet
