suddenly

been sitting here, in this spot off and on all morning since i've been up

facing the window right across from me i look up

and suddenly

there's a down pour of white,

soft pretty slurring all about to a silent song

a minute or so later i glance somewhere else

take my mind into a different direction

moments slip by, but then i look out

and suddenly

there's nothing, only a layer of white as an evidence something once fell

but there's no movement, no graceful fall

i think nothing of it and continue my mind somewhere else

pulling me from the opening view to the outside

time ticks by, and my eye catches something

a movement - look up

and suddenly

the dance begins again, white slurring about

turning from side to side in a dance - yet unaware

of eachother - some are fast needing to feel the ground beneath them

some slow down, it's an adagio - no need to race to the end of the song

some hear the crescendo

the dance leaps about, twirling to and fro yet will often

pause for a curtsy- a slowing down - the music comes and

goes during this moment of my day...during a pause in the music

i'm reminded i don't have tickets to sit

and watch the entire performance...but

after this calm silence...the dance twirls

once again...suddenly
