Enduring a winter storm is a part of living. Some storms are special in that they keep you awake. I don't know if it is out of respect for the power of nature or instinctual fear. Perhaps it is a form of excitement cause by the energy in the air. All I know is there are a lot of moments filled with thoughts during a really good storm. Some of the thoughts are not good.

MercyMercy - it is five a.m. just before the dawn All night the wind and rain has gone on and on I tried to count the raindrops like the proverbial sheep But it didn’t produce the peaceful sleep Should I stay awake to see the sun - at least To greet it rising gloriously in the East Optimist that I am - I just might No sleep anyway on this wild and windy night Philip Copyright 3/20/2011 |
