Sometimes

Sometimes at night

The way the lights hit the streets

Turn the town into candy,

Sometimes the snow

And the streetlights just know

How to react,

Take a walk with me sometime

I'll show you what I mean.

 A nice stroll during a December night,

During a flurry while the cars are buried,

While snowflakes dance over us

In the beams from the posts,

We could stand in one of their spotlights

And see how the houses coat their

White driveways in ceiling-lit orange

As if a large creamsicle were melting. 

Sometimes a little eggnog and rum

While chasing a sweetly lighted nor'easter

Holding someone's hand

Can grant a little more than a cold breeze

Like a memory, a soft colored winter

To spin in smiling, buzzed

Within the little drifts, giving

Little things to remember warmly.
