I drove by snowbanks with mountains in view
Pleasant thoughts traveled with me on my ride
Under deep blue skies, in a bright sun’s golden hue

When it caught my eye, flying from the side

Lavender skies, with pink cloud reminders of peace
That I may release some things, to shed this tired face
As miles leave behind the...

The wind roars like a lion
As a sheet of snow, blows on by
Dusting of white sticks to windows
The weighed down bushes tip over
Outside, there is a brewing war
I walk, bting wind on my face,
By the...

A couple of cold and snowy winter months

Snowbanks rising higher, in the way

No sign of spring, but hope does remain
Changing of seasons, winter winds wane
As flowers...

Cold air, strong wind, high snowbanks, with sun still shining through
A brisk, clear, walk will wake you up from all that you do
Branches squeaking all around from the wind that blows

Our celestial friend,
To climb.

And as it does
