Blanket

The beauty and purity of the first virgin white snow on the shores of windy North Lake Huron

it is over
the sun emerges from it’s hiding spot
high above the angry clouds
bathing everything
in a warming calm light

crusted soft ivory icing
smothered deluge
pure snow
drowning the shores
exposed wind swept lake

tall pines and cedars
struggle
bending
creaking
carrying their weight

at their feet
a silent blanket
carved in mounds and grooves
etched evidence to the rage
fury of winds that followed
after the sky
ever burdened
emptied itself
onto the world below

it is over
from underneath
from inside
they emerge
basking in the warming peeking light
absorbing
natures new dress
