Midnight Marvels

I keep becoming so concerned
with the subplot
and the trivial

I am noticing less and less
the pinprick aggravations
of modern life

I've become the grin of girlish delight
deep-bellied laughter
and twirling in circles

tonight I found perfection in my flaws
captivation with the weather
and comfort in the cold

I was the serene center of the universe
as the winds raged around me
I was pacing, but peaceful

the impulsive being that I am
fell victim to the call of the ice patch
in the shadows

the world tonight was melting and dripping
the wind pushed me along
so I ran with it

the slide longer and faster than anticipated
right into a puddle of slush
I got a soaker

yet still enlightened and invigorated
I laughed and tempted fate
for another several slides.
