Cause and Effect

I glimpse out my window on this  crispy winter's day to see what is. The color apparent is fog filled gray. Outside, I'm puffing smoke  as cold meets warm before my face. Red turns my nose and my fingers change  hue, north wind's blowing through.    Most plants appear naked, their  leafless bony limbs spread bare, hung  like pictures upon the misted wall of dismal sky.  Through the vagueness I see evergreens  burned brown with a frown numbing cold,  looking forlorn and fearful of weather's  effects that are yet to come. The birds have flown; the plants  hide within, leaving clues as to where they've been. I've searched  the landscape for a showing of life.  And then you grin, inherently  your "sunshine smile" fulfills it's  purpose: to open the day to the joys  of the Sun, that has now arrived.
