The snow rages
there is an allergy in the air
piercing wind and biting cold
perfect storm with a flair
The trees are covered
wildlife fights for survival
raging blackout conditions
winter slashes out in revival
A storm in the east
the coastal waves filled with ice
all seems dark in the world
nature is filled with vice
Emotions run high
there is fear in the air
will the storm consume us
some cup boards are bare
Then it stops
the beast is put to rest
leaving beauty in the landscape
nature now at its best
Meditation ends
my soul is renewed
having survived the storm
new beauty to be viewed
