Anticlimactic mood after February 18th, 2021 snow storm subsided

I hate spoiler alert
regarding weather forecasters prediction,

From the dream. I lay perfectly still listening,
to the silence.  The room was icy cold. I sighed.

If no signal fires a mental wasteland blazing passion,
Angelic vibes are only found through third-eye action
