The gray clouds darkening as winds howl away the moon. Storm brewing among the caps of white between twin peaks... Leaves rustling anxiously, awaiting the tear the fall, the swirl....some will find the earthen home as others float away on stems of brown... Twirling and swirling... Even the fowl huddle against the chill, awaiting the shrill shriek of a devil’s wind...ruffling the shortest feather, the lightest fur and longest mane. Brewing a flavor not palatable to the buds. Seasons change... as life awaits the moment....when nature takes the reins of earth and guides the wind.....the chilling wind |

Truth is it is kinda cold here but that is about it...almost had a little sleet, but this is the Carolinas...and the southern part stays fairly tame... Thanx for the replies and the concern... And Yeah, a good nite for a romantic write! |

Right now, I would love a cozy warm down comforter being wrapped around my shivering shoulders by big, strong comforting arms...That would take the chill out of my body and warm me up considerably! I love the wind, no matter what frame of mind or mood it's in!--and I loved this write! It was invigorating--and somewhat stimulating! tehe EA |

Perfectly woven images, Barry, you are so talented in your 'eye-viewing!' Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Seasons change... as life awaits the moment....when nature takes the reins of earth and guides the wind.....the chilling wind Like Enchantress, I feel this is a great stanza...not to denigrate the rest of it. Nice work...KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
