We clutch existence,
wanting proof we're even here.
Time proves otherwise.

I stared at the world and it didn't look like much
(at first)
but then I saw a cloud, a tree,
with at its foot a flower,
and in that flower slept a bumblebee
(you could say that I got distracted)
and the closer I looked
the more it felt like seeing everything

scattered bitter cold.
and yet, half a world away,
record heat still mounts

why plan a future?
if we don't plan the climate,
our calendar's full.

Nameless heaven sent

Her hair was the texture of cream,
And the shade of jet.
Out of from a rich man's dream,
A night with her none would regret.

Her eyes green as jade,
And softer than cotton.
Tell me was it in heaven you were made,
You who's name I've sadly forgotten.

snow reassures us
that climate's safely controlled.
we're easily snowed

yay! cold days coming.
glad to see winter still breathes.

love must vanquish fear.
fear's the stuff walls are made of.
love's not a prison.

winter's so spotty
heavy coat gets dragged along
but more 'just in case'

There's a wolf pack in the snow,

Her eyes harden, a slight frown flickers across her forehead, although there is nothing else to suggest that she has moved one iota.
“Did you see that?” You cast.
“Affirmative “
“Does it change the plan?”
“Nope”
You realise that you’ve been holding your breath, unconsciously tensing in preparation for action. You’ll need to dial that in for the next job, still learning the mechanisms but you don’t want (1/2)

darkness and failure
are where the Universe starts.
