Winter Dream

The air is growing cold and as I walk against the wind I realize that man has not yet conquered the elements Moving on, I see buildings, tall trees, and a fellow traveller on this solar boat The sun beams down on our blue home Provides a little warmth on this frigid afternoon Then I arrive home where a cup of hot tea ends the effects of winter We must take sustenance in what we have and not succumb to despair or excess vanity For we did not make this world But we are allowed a short stay here Which we should make the most of while we still can

This could only come from one with wisdom, Matt...This is profound...Thanks for visiting..yes, "Luna Yearns" did win. A cup of hot tea on a cold day is one of the "priceless" things to enjoy. Happy Hanukah, Matt! God bless. Love, Annalise
