small stone 6 - The Choice

Sonja Chan

February 9

 Snow rages outside while
warmth permeates inside.
And you ask me
which of these I choose,

Well, let me say I love the
cozy feel of book in hand,
the goodness of coffee rich
in taste and smell, yes, both,
that touch of resurrection
as it slithers down my throat,
with background clarinet sounds
mellow as only Acker Bilk can
have it through my earphones wend
and have my day complete.

And yet, I come to think of it,
make up my mind and say
with outstretched arms and eyes
to'ards heaven: lead me to the outside
please - let the outline bare of trees
fascinate, delight my sight.
as with carpets of total whiteness
wrap my spirit in celestial splendor,
let me revel in the snow, in that wind,
in that captivating sense -of
the raw and freezing cold
yet in most sublime magnificence.

Thus, in this the wintry part of weather,
Join me - celebrate the outdoors!
