I parked the car backwards at the front
of the driveway prepared to pull out.
A Nor’easter was rambling
and as expected, blanketed
us with a lot of snow.
Slowly, inch by inch, hour by hour
it piled up, covering
everything earthbound.
Covering eyesore and beauty
with quiet equanimity,
regardless of stature.
Transformed by change,
empowered by embrace,
landscape becomes snowscape.
In between, I would venture out
to shovel a path
and cultivate my oneness.
Finding a way in the snow,
Gently pushing with little flinging,
I join the flakes transformation.
With indifference,
I make it to the car –
still bound it waits.
We must be prepared
to be on our way.
Seeing is most important.
Trunk and hood cleared,
windows and lights cleared,
we are ready to cleave.
