the cold
stings the senses
into remission

seen through icicles:
the distortion of a life
endured

there are likely far too many of us that can clearly relate to:

"seen through icicles:
  the distortion of a life
  endured(!)"

v. well put!

This is very beautifully written. I think all of us have been through what you wrote here. Like you also wrote, we endure.

Everything is a distortion when viewed through eyes which see not. I liked the image of ice distorting things and related it to the coldness within.

Bruce, so nice that you are still here to give me a boost once in a while Thank you.

The_Doctors_Angel_32, I certainly can endure...but this lingering cold weather is beginning to wear me out!

Lori, my days are whatever they are...once I get moving nothing else matters. It's a Snow/Ice day today...no school again!

JP, some days I feel like we are living in the Arctic, having so many days of freezing weather in a row definitely slows one day when not use to it.

steavenr, Thank you for the cool reply!

e, you are always such a sweethheart. Not so sure about the talent...I seem to be wearing down or is that wearing out!?!
M

Diana, hope it's warmer where you are. Thank you for responding and for the updates on Linda.

M

RMW- well looky here~~ a stranger~~ missed you and hope all is well in your area of the country. The iceman has cometh today!( Not you, but the weather)
  

Marti, Thank you!

Rex, definitely colder on the outside! Thanks.

faithmairee, short was all I could produce when my mind is almost as frozen as the icicles I see.

Thank you, everyone,
M
