Favorite Quote:
"Be you because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind". Dr. Suess


The night was loaded with omens

Greiving sky

If we go, no tree crashes

If we stay, no snow falls

The trees were barbed-wired fences

Dangerous, disregarded, and difficult

The snow fall is like metal

Wind got up

Strange wind to me

 

I turned off the highway

On a shaley road

Brown grass

And small outcrops

A little farther along

A small house

Neither romantic nor mystic

What a place

Put my car in gear

And moved along 

The moon was like a silver light in the sky

The moon was variations of sculptured hills

The map should fold

Coulees, cliffs, and clarity

Amazement, welcome amazement

Beautiful
