Just wrote this poem yesterday about the recent dumping of snow we received. (;

Life all around

Fresh and new

I’m filled with hope

The day is new

Bright, warm sun

Gentle breeze

A day gone well

My life at ease

 

Shadows roll

The sky turns grey

Oh, can I make it

Can I fight through this next day?

Cold seeps in

Hope starts to drift

Oh, where is the life?

Will my troubles

Ever lift?

 

The wind picks up

Snow begins to fall

This isn’t right.

No, not at all.

I built up hope

You let me down

Now troubles come

No warning, no sound.

 

What happened to joy?

Will it ever be true

That my life will go well

I’m not seeing the view.

I don’t understand

Why the ice still comes

Heartbeat slows

To the beat of drums

 

Just bring the warmth!

The bright blue sky!

I need that hope!

Oh, why? Oh, why?

The hurt falls soft

But heavily

Oh, why must you

Imprison me?

 

The dark and cold

Obstruct my view

My path is gone

No one to run to

Why did you leave

When I needed you most?

Why weren’t you there?

You left your post.

 

A whisper comes

Through the howling wind

“I never left

It was you who did.

I am still here

Through the cold, dark nights

I never left you.

I am your Life.”

 

“You don’t need to rely

On the bright warm sun

I’ve got a plan

Though it may not be fun

So embrace the wind

The storms

The cold

There’s beauty there

Though it may seem old.”

 

“Accept the snow

Though cold it may be

There will be life

Just wait and see

Endure this test

Fight it through

There’s more in store

You’ll have blessings anew.”
