A gray hue has crept in
And in the sky lightning cascades from the wind swept clouds
like water trickling down a mountainside.
It has majesty and beauty in its chaos. Flashes capture concentration. The eyes focus on the fine details admiring every valley and crest in the clouds. Up, then down. Shapes begin to form and the imagination blossoms with excitement. The trees sway in agreement. The wind plays a melody of low hums to soothe the ears of the onslaught of everyday noises. The mind smiles with gratitude that the eyes and ears were able to witness such a wondrous creation.

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.
