Eloping In a Blizzard-A True Story

**Eloping in a Blizzard** In a blizzard, our car stalled in total darkness in The Great Divide. The wind like a witch cackling in the pitch dark of night! A mix of snow and sleet encasing the car, twas a most frightening sight. Not one light could be seen on this road, my heart was anything but light. Frightened and shivering, oh God, why did I leave home? To elope with my love to golden San Francisco To be his and never more to roam! Alas he discovered, we were out of gas. He bid me to hide under blankets and give him no sass. Alone, in pitch dark, my knight walked to a farm. I prayed God to protect us from any grievous harm. I saw the swirling winds, just a frightened bride-to-be. Then a knock on the window, he had returned, my future husband to be! Here, I have the gas, as promised, said he! We drove on peacefully to San Francisco, and were married, indeed, most happily!! May 15, 2020 2pm PST Poem#1270
