Our Momentary Journal

The morning comes with frosted panes.
Cold veils block the view of a world -
Still melting. 
That icy cloth, never wiped away. 

We stand before it, 
Carve sentiments in the dew, 
Only to frost them once more. 
A strange melancholy it brings. 

Now the scarlet flame rises - 
Grows yellow, 
And clears the mist from the window. 
We get on with our day.
