Great Northern fronts
Can be quite blunt
Winds go back and forth
With a kick, pass punt
–
Shock waves that move
The chiming windmill
Which cannot behave
Then become still
–
With tears on my face
I tend to the mill
But I have fulfillment
In this long winters’ chill
–
Trusting in God
The key to my strength
Endurance, resilience
To go the length
–
Soft winter cloths
Caress nightly with salve
For this cracked deepened smile
At the frozen improv
–
Crisp sunny days
Leading love to the verse
Settling yesterdays’ bout
With the cold winters burst
