Suns of Deep Winter

In the midst of a soul chilling winter
the clouds moved away just a while.
The sun crashed in through the windows
and filled up the room like fire.
The warmth of the light on my old,
wrinkled hand made me smile.
Smile, look up, and reach back.
Reach back along the side roads
that lead away to the past and
let my mind wander for a moment
to times long ago in far away places,
to distant towns, and forgotten faces.
It is nice, sometimes, in the winter,
to sit in the sun and reach back.
