first snow
Written on May 15, 2007

I told him that I felt like writing a short story. Then I got home and my electricity was shut off. What is more inspiring than desperation, I thought. So as I sat outside waiting for the lights to come back on, I wrote this:
I whispered a daydream
to my old friend the wind
I said I need some changes
I’m restless within
and the wind blew back at me
with comfort and warmth
and said changes are coming my friend
I woke the next morning
with a chill on my skin
and I knew somehow
something was about to begin
so I went to the window
to see what was outside
what was the day going to bring
I stood there with wonder
it was a brand new day
It seems the universe liked
what the wind had to say
the outside was wrapped
all in glimmering white
as if it were a present for me
a miracle! its snowing
in the middle of may?
my world was wiped clean
while I slept twilight away
I am filled with excitement
it brings chills to my skin
silently erasing my worries within
I cant wait to wake him
to tell him the story
of the wind and the daydream
and the wondrous glory
he is sleeping so soundly
all warm in our bed
I think Ill allow him sleep in instead
He was brought by my wishes
on a warm summer breeze
in a summertime past
its still hard to believe
but he is here on this morning
and I’m so grateful for him
anything can happen
when you throw your dreams to the wind
