solstice sandwich
today was the thinnest
of daylight sandwiches
the shortest distance
between two darknesses
last night it began to snow
but it was another thinness
icing across the landscape
an inconsequential covering
tonight is the thickest
of nighttime sandwiches
the widest distance
between two daylights
tomorrow the sun will rise
and it will be another thinness
lighting up the landscape
an inconsequential covering
in this time of not enough
we do well to remember
that days never stand alone
and neither do the nights
snow falls in seasons and
days are numbered by years
it takes more than one
sandwich to make a lifetime
Peace,
Milton
Wonderful, Milton! Thank you!!
