WHERE THE WIND BLOWS
WHERE THE WIND BLOWS
The trees of the forest shiver and shake,
their long limbs trembling for the next quake.
Their bodies blaze a glaring white
with tears frozen from their new plight.
The world has become hard and cold.
My trembling body feels old.
Surrounded on four sides by white,
the bright glare has blinded my sight.
White is the color of my nightgown
as I stand and shiver with a frown.
A shadow emerges from the trees.
I hope it is not him, pretty please.
My body moves forward against my will.
I grab a thick tree and try to hold still.
I dig my feet into the packed snow,
but I must go where the wind might blow.

THE FIRST SNOWSTORM
Snow covers the ground
with its white purity.
Everything is
whispered clean.
Sounds are muted.
Animals go into hiding.
A hush falls.
We’re able to take a deep breath,
step back,
and enjoy the beauty.
There’s no hurry.
Cars are buried.
Mass transit is shut down.
We have time for family
and snow ball fights.
Sleds sliding down
newly created hills.
Hot chocolate
in front of the fire.
Marshmallows roasting
on sticks.
I have my boots and gloves.
I’m ready!
