Return of the Rime

Rime ice coats the Observation Deck this morning
The air has a chill
That invokes a shiver
Sending ripples down the spine
Causing the body to quiver
The sound of the wind
Howling past my ear
Is a familiar reminder
We’ve reached this time of year
I pull my hat down
And zipper up tight
I walk across the deck
And soak up the sight
The sun has just risen
Peeking above the silhouettes
The cloud bank rolls in
And settles all debts
Crunch, scrunch, crack
Reverberating through the air
The rime has returned
After it once was so rare
Plodding along
To the rhythm of the beat
My footsteps are now
Sounding so sweet
