And So It Goes

The world was spinning
Wild was the wind and the snow came
And she waited
  and she watched

Dark was the night
Stars exploding into the black
And she counted
  hoping to catch a wish

When the sun came
It blew to the earth wisps of warmth
She wrapped her arms around herself
  breathing in peace of mind

The morning was slient as
squirrels skipped over the frozen ground
And she waited
  and she watched..

I thoroughly enjoyed this poem,  very
beautiful.  The mood is so peaceful...almost
as though a fresh snow had fallen upon a
new morn...outside beyond the window...

I sit here watching my hungry little squirrel invading my birdfeeder... Picturing Lyra doing the same at her window... Lovely words, Electra...
