Winter's Touch
like a Rondel
A silver sky called bleak wanted to cry
but no tearful clouds could answer why -
beautiful winter's time had arrived
and to Autumn we said a sad goodbye.
As unique flakes filled the atmosphere
bedazzled children felt like graceful deer,
frozen in awe at the magic of the sky,
bewildered in joy to know Winter's sigh.
Winter's touch is like melting crystal in air -
gathering a miracle of white snow flair -
touching icy cold mystery to feel anew -
experiencing love, life, and faith that grew.
From bleak sky and dingy boring streets
to a magical white wonderland where cold lovers meet;
From Autumn's rainbow of branches and leaves
to the softness of Winter's touch in the breeze,
and the blanket of snow to cushion souls with ease.

Through the Water to the Lights
Fig looked at the clock on the wall in the hallway which read 3:30 p.m. The power was still off, the water outside still not gone, and Uncle Georgio still had not made a sound or come out of his room. Fig knew she had to do something at this point. She went to her closet and got her bathing suit and water shoes to wear so that she could attempt to go through the flood water. After she changed into her swim gear, she went to talk to her children.
