Winter Watch

A sturdy white wall of clouds
  just passed by my window
like a train on its way to,
  who knows where?
I sat watching and thinking ....

 Where are they going?

Now and then a patch
 of sunny, blue sky appeared.
It was there alright,
  sure enough,
watching the show, same as me....

And the clouds just kept on rolling by.

Snowy branches swayed and waved.
  Wind beneath my eaves,
howled and whistled.
  Who knows how many others
were watching this parade?

And then, it was all over!

The sunny blue sky stayed.
  I am sorry to say though,
The ornery north wind blew mercilessly,
  Causing my snow covered eaves to weep.
I saw it all .....

From my comfy seat beside the kitchen window.
