Probably actually 2 poems here, but the main is dealing with the cold of this day and why it might seem colder than it really is. Legitimate Excuse Solar powered drape openers-- lured into frost viewing by the hope-of-warm invitations. Sketchy memories say to “let the sunlight in, it will warm, yet cloudy days, draw the drapes, that the warm may not escape on dreary visions. Hard to be sure when the glass, though not coated in frost, lets one eye frozen edges and expanses between the thermals. Wrapped in a cocoon of thermal unders, robe, fleece jacket, socks and lap robe, the iciness still penetrates, still slices the epidermis along my legs and back, around my left ankle and down my left foot. Is it colder due to the Halloween fall? Is my right hand warmer for the same? Wrapped in gauze and Nexcare sealing in the ointmented dressing without need of tape that moisture only weakens and peels away. Conjured reasons for procrastination of chores, before, so now, is a legitimate excuse at “hand?” ©November 2, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Virginia, I know just how numb that feels and how much it hurts, we got a high in the teens today here and a low near zero! (sigh) I send warm hugs your way, sweet friend, keep bundled up, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
