dimmed lights

nightfall came too quick

I wish the day didn’t fade away

beyond the dimmed lights

I count the stars in the sky

as well as the hours until

I see your face again

under iced tree limbs

the tree limbs were covered in ice

under clear blue skies

I put on my gloves and scarf

to play in the fresh snow

that gifted me a day off from school

inside the house my mom makes

hot chocolate to warm my insides

homecoming

at sunrise she left home

to explore bounties that lie

beyond the borders of home

leaving behind the safety net

of the familiar

when she returned at sunset

she was a different woman

wearing new clothes

with a light in her eyes

that never appeared before
