NaPoWriMo Day 2: Thinking of Snow

From an Empty Office in Winter

The day slipping down to slow motion
a blanket statement of snow
barely a whisper under this winter sun

All light and no heat
A smile that doesn’t reach the eyes

Each hour as long as a middle school summer
Stretching out golden and warm
With no context of ending

Or beginning



I was thinking of times stuck indoors, with the heater blasting and no deadlines. I didn't end up doing the prompt for this one, as I wasn't really interested in writing about my family.
