 Midnight Walk in Battle Creek Night and darkness shadowed in as heavy gray clouds felt of snow quiet is the air, and thin, awaiting Mother Nature’s show O the beauty of a night first born, a Michigan town, Battle Creek smells of grape nuts in early morn for these are memories I would keep. Company had come by that night, good times were had by all, then it soon chimed, 'twas midnight and snow had begun to fall Twenty miles east of Kalamazoo Battle Creek quietly resides, Kalamazoo has great winds, true, off Michigan’s great lake side Battle Creek is a different town, as quiet reigns over the snow, instead of drifts and shifting hills the white just chooses to grow. Midnight walks on streets of white a wondrous treat in its own, this is when magic begins, and why we believe in cherrystones. Did you know that snow has song? It's heard when winds don’t blow, crystalline tinkling is taken to heart and snow fairies softly glow ~ I know for we stood, quiet, still, heard chiming tings softly surround no one spoke, but shyly descried as snow came twinkling down. O Battle Creek of Michigan, someday I’ll come to visit again. ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 29 September, 2000 revised 15 December 2003 Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

What a nice and laid back poem about an almost fairytale place with the unlikely name of Battle Creek. Used to love those Grapenuts. Sunshine, I sent you an email. |

Excellent Karilea! Is this one of your first ones here at Passions? It's just superb writing! None of us would be here if it wasn't for Ron. He's a silent genius that everyone could take for granted but none of us do!! Thank you Ron for many years of pure pleasure when visiting here. Eric ain't doin nothin at all just answerin the call and kinda driftin away from it all |

I have to say, in honest candor That Ron is one fine Michigander. In Florida we just have lizards But Michigan has it's own wizard! Merry Christmas, Sunshine  |
