The cold weather has arrived again

Dusk settles upon the city

Scents of rain, mist and frost

And intense wintry perfumes

Waft through the busy air

Deeper colors appear more vivid

Black, grey and blue

Electric blue

For some odd reason

A sense of nostalgia overcomes me

Absence

Something is missing in this scene

A warmth, a voice

A pleasance , a presence

And then it dawns on me

These scents, these hues

They seem to remind me of  someone

Of someone I once knew
