BEAUTIFUL SNOW

 

I think winter is beautiful

fluffy

snow

heavy laden

on

bended boughs

 

 

 

standing silent

and

steadfast

waiting for

spring

 

 

 

 

Today

I am at the farm

I haven't any water,

the water pipes

are frozen

in the pump house.

I dig out

the bottles of water

I have stored away.

 

I build a warm

fire

and crawl into bed.

I awake

during the night

it is -15 degrees below zero.

I throw another log

on the fire,

snuggle deeper under the covers

and

 DREAM OF SPRING
