Vigil

Waiting
Awaiting the snow
A silence so complete that it speaks aloud

Stillness
Air heavy and yet so light
It touches the skin but weights the body not

Life sits in abeyance
Breath bated
Waiting, waiting

All keep silence
Breathing barely to be dared
No audible sound, no spoken word

Outside, the clouds hang low in the night
Pregnant with a strange anticipation,
With emotion dammed, with possibility

Amid the fullness of the dark
One solitary snowflake drifts
Falls . . . .
