A Speck

his frame
huddled against
wind gusts
knives
in his ribs
   a speck
   'midst
   snowdrifts

There is lesson here about determination, and the unyielding will to survive against nature, regardless of how minute humans are. Great!...ab

Hello Gershon, oh that wind can be very cold on the body. The person can not see the snow banks too high. The person almost go inot the snowbank. Enjoy your day my friend.

Well done Gershon. My picture is of a homeless veteran using his skills to stay alive...just the image that came to my mind.

Wow! A vicious image. Thank God we are not a speck in his eyes…He sees us always…how we don’t understand but He does…We take Him at His word. Nicely done, Gershon and now I must go to sleep :)
