A Reminder

Stay awhile until the night diminishes
and daybreak begins her entrance
Remain until shapes gain form
and dreams retreat into forgotten realms
Listen to the earth groan and push itself
up to meet footfalls and a blanket of frost
Today begins again but all is not new,
yesterday hangs on to today
The snow of two days ago has left a remnant
Words spoken still hover and wait
for a resting place, nothing is wasted
