A chocolate peanut butter cup blizzard,
A cherry-lemon syrup snow cone, or
A homemade juice icicle pop--what
Summertime forecast has the overnight
Left behind?

What spirits have fallen from the heavens--
So peacefully, silently floating kindness,
A kind of anticipation: an understated
Sweetness or a shivering brain freeze; an
Unexpected whirl-eye-rolling saturation?

An unrealistic dream, a deception in the
Morning stillness as the fog is wiped away;
On view through the window is a distant
Calm; at a closer look, seen is a dazzling
Microcosm adhered to the frosted glass:
Intricacy--the crystal clear natural scientific
Aesthetic turned to heart-warmed slush.

Melting away, the spirits disappear except in
The mind's eye; failing tangibly to document
Existing proof, treat ideas: a toasty breakfast.
