Finally here and ready to see you
better late than never,
the air fills with chatter and laughter.
This is what I have been missing.

Skies and snow
must also feel this warmth and love,
sticking, layering, to the world outside
like I wish to do here,
in your home.
Stick and stay.

Fighting against the disappearing sun
to stay longer, keep the moment alive,
come departures
too soon.
