Poem: Blizzard Nocturne

A blizzard at night, power under darkness;

Furious, but unseen.

Eyes robbed of its beauty and grace;

Majestic, but unseen.

Tree limbs crashing, tumbling, weighted;

Destructive, but unseen.

True dramas of life and death, large and small occurring every second;

Unforgiving, but unseen.

Winds forcing their way between sashes, branches and boards;

Unseen, but not unheard.

Morning will reveal its paths;

With first light its grandeur and might will be ready to be seen.
