Power Outage Lesson

Heat escapes through closet doors and breathes the frozen oxygen my body slowly cools beneath a doubled comforter O! I see a flash a flash of my mortality! A creep of winter spies my feet and dances along my tender skin. In frantic fear my feet draw near and haunt the luring warmth. O please it's been eternity since I could feel a pleasant chill instead ~ a bite! get out! please leave my wretched sight! Then minutes turn to hours till I come to terms with frozen ill I'll die here in my cloth cocoon... Then BZZZZZZZT! the blast of light and hums a ray of artificial light! appliances come racing on and tear a mortal thought away ..I'll live to see another day. And through a blissful smile, a faint but necessary thought arises.. Be thankful for the little things no matter what their guises.
