Weather

 

I love to see the snow flakes fall

And cover everything in sight,

I feel an inner sense of peace

And safety when the world is white.

It seems I'm in a special spot

Wrapped in a blanket, soft and warm,

So nothing from outside this place

Can enter in and bring me harm.

 

When rain and wind both come at once

And thunder rolls across the sky,

The lightning's boney, burning hand

Pokes jagged fingers in my eye.

My very soul is now content

I'm free of all my fears and woe,

A thunderstorm can cleanse my heart,

I am enraptured with the snow.
