Winter Sun by Sharmagne Leland-St. John
Fleeting Glory
by Vaughn Neeld
A winter sun bleeds pink
through thin, vaporous clouds
that roil above a line
of navy-blue mountains.
An old adobe hut's
dark, empty-eyed windows
stare blindly across fields
of sage and rabbitbrush
humped beneath their snowy
blanket. Along the lane,
the snow remains pristine;
no tracks mar its surface.
I gaze upon the scene
and know that this fleeting
glory is mine alone.
