It is docking it is tocking in the winter garden locking over still and heavy knocking that defies the very dew. We see storms and angels crumbling under load of dearest kindling and the fire and gases burning in the skies where clouds are churning and the snow, hail, sleet, and ices come to split the air in slices as it settles over houses, villages, shoes. Waiting huddling drawing the blankets hot and heavy with a fear of powerful nature in the windy savory few. Now we see and hear the howling like a wolf entangles scowling as she tries to say her fowl and angry message to the blew. I am never quite so settled as when all around me crumbles and the anger of the desert makes the inner anger moot. And the people seem to gather in their individual lathers but they all believe the madness that the storm will never pass. But pass it does and finding with the dawn a calm descending, yes, a calm that is so different that it seems to crush our ears. We are happy to look outward and even hear a skylark and to see the streaming sun rays flitter over piles of snow. Ever angled up in heaven we almost see a dragon or a cannon that's protecting rampart walls. And we know that we are safe here but it was such a battle that the scars are not quite healed.
