Blizzard

The Nature of TruthPoetry

The moment comes: the bulging grey clouds
release their load down on the earth below.

The air fills with white snowflakes
parachuting down to the ground
draping towns with a thick white blanket

Shipwrecking cars
in towering drifts

To those outside in the raging storm,
the glacial air, the blizzard is a foe,
a bitter enemy, a threat.

But to those in warm living rooms
it is entertainment,
as they sip mugs of warm cocoa
and stare out at the furious weather beyond
