I Know
...I know,
I have always known
Exactly where I stand.
My will is His will, I rest in his hand.

Snow Soften

In early morning, spreading
Out the window, light gathering
Seeing a tempest unfurl

Falling from the sky;
On the wall and housetops
Soft and thick they lie.
On the window ledges,
On the branches bare;

Filling all the air.
