this day was longer
than the day before it
late filtered sun
on snow-laden trees
winter is textural
rime ice and powder
everything built
upon another
cold pastiche
this punched out step
in a snowfield
an irreversible mark
sharp punctuation
but not indelible
this night this storm
will erase it
nothing lasts
not even nothing
OPTIONAL POETRY 
Such a valid last couplet! Thank God it’s true. ~ P ~

Hello!
Excellent work on this post! I really enjoyed your reflections in the new year. I agree that some days are longer than others as well! This was a very inspirational piece and the sort of poem I’ll remember for years to come. I look forward to your future posts!
