Before the Frost

is yawns and

a general

slowing-down of time.

as we hurry 

trying to get more done,

to set new goals

before the year ends.

But really,

we need to slow down

and appreciate 

the sweetness

of the world

before the first

powdered-sugar frost 

appears.

    endless inspirations.

    with each piece

    having one

    rightful

    idealist romantic

    in me 

    for that to be the case.

    I think
