Wispy whites and grays
Obscured view of vague foothills
Bright peak shines on high
Gliding across ice
Crowd roars, teams chirp, guard the puck
Slap shot, siren blows
Snow falling on snow
Drifting up past window sills
No signs of stopping
Happiness is cheap
It can be bought with a smile
Smile at me today
Paw prints in fresh snow
Cutting deep into the woods
I am not alone
Locks drive from behind
Front row holds, flankers’ eyes dart
Eight man traps the ball
Crouch bind set and drive
Scrum-half rolls ball to hooker
Loose-head prop holds ground
Ball out of the ruck
Catch and run through arm tackles
Diving for the try
Wind howls through windows
House groans as gusts test its strength
Sleepless night again
