Winter Storm
North Atlantic winter,
shafts of sunlight race across
glass green mountains
deep fear inducing valleys,
in the mess, talk is subdued;
forecast is stormy.
New York is suddenly afar
but will we get there?
A bow down a watery vale
and not coming up again.
Smoke a cigarette,
she takes the sea like a duck.
Try getting some sleep
storm is always worst at night
daylight somehow calms the seas.
