Winter roars back,
May slips from view,
April has lost its anchor
in these storm tossed sky’s.
Songbirds scrabble under
canopies still too thin
for cover.
None look up but huddle
in puffer jackets recently stowed.
It snowed all day,
now the wind is shoveling daffodils
out of the soggy earth.
Mice nibble roots
brought up from old larders.
House cats glare from frosted windows,
bare feet wrap themselves in wooly
Christmas gifts.
When May arrives it will find us
defending slowly melting igloos.
Water is filtered through strong drink.
Fortunately, we have almanacs
and long range forecasts
so the present need for handmade arks
may not be necessary.

We mark our lives with milestones which are cold
and mathematical. Dry almanacs
and calendars, we carry on our backs.
But heavy numbers perish, once they're told.
Our age is almost shameful. If cajoled,
we might reveal it, may just tell the truth.
Why don't we celebrate remaining youth?
Why do we tell off years in terms of "old"?
I have another way to measure time.
Sensations matter more than months or years,
loves lived, loves lost - these are my souvenirs.
The old north bridge, our secret meeting-place,
warm wind, that pollen "blizzard", that embrace ...
these count my life. And I count them sublime.

Who created what I need to know right now
I need to know the who , the what , the when , and how
The big bang theory is that just some host
Cause I believe everything came to be by my GOD and the HOLY GHOST
They teaches us that we form from the water s or some ape that walked the land
But my Bible teaches me that life was breathed into dust and that how GOD created man
Am I to believe all this to happen due to some type of calamity?
Or was everything spoke into existence the land and the seas
So you say from nothing there came something BOOM!! And everything was there
Yea let’s just say that I believe that one but even that boom had to come from somewhere
Well you can gone back to all your research through your encyclopedias and almanacs
But as for me I have my Bible which gives me all the facts
