vintage-1722325_960_720Do not look for me
Hidden in a fort
Beneath icy snow
Still falling carelessly above

Between the daffodils and daisies
Amidst the cool grasses
Of a wakening meadow

Along the dunes on the beach
Betwixt the waves
Crashing on the shore

Encompassed by leaves
Strewn across the ground
In no particular way

In the obvious places
You presume to find
A wandering spirit
I will not be there

Instead look within and find
A life otherwise uncommon
With its own rhythm
A heart’s journey

It is there you may find
Who you are seeking
It is there you will
Find me lost

She is beautiful

In a wicked way

She makes the children smile

As they romp playfully about

She smirks as the rest

Struggle to find warmth

And nature trembles

As she snickers under her cold breath

No mercy in her icy grin

No comfort from the storm

What Is It About Snow & French Toast?

The weatherman says we’re in for a major snow event…start your engines.  You know you have to get to the grocery store for the most important three items on the list…milk, eggs & bread aka French Toast.  What is it about snow that makes everyone crave this irresistibly delicious breakfast food?

Of course I’m kidding.  But I really do want to know why people panic when a weather event is announced. It’s weather, it happens every day.  And it’s not like we haven’t been through it before.  The media hype is just that, hype.  Unless you’re a transplant from Hawaii, most Northerners know how to handle the snow.  You may even get a day off from work or school.

Look at it this way, it’s Winter.  It’s going to snow.  It’s going to sleet.  Put on your Winter coat, go outside, build a snowman, have a snowball fight, flop in the snow and make a snow angel.  Be a kid again.  Then wait for the roads to clear, the deliveries made and then go buy your milk, eggs & bread.  Make your French Toast and be sure to invite me over.  I’ll bring the syrup. 😉
