Swiftly invading the blue-grey sky and giving birth to a chilling wind <br />Were clouds of fury, nimbostratus by name. <br />First the freezing rain and then the snow came. Footprints quickly camouflaged by snow as the wind circled and swirled around <br />Producing giant flakes in urgent flight. <br />I tarried not for home that night. Home gave way to moaning sounds and walls creaked in sheer dismay <br />As I hid under covers down filled and warm. <br />I fell asleep lulled by the storm. Morning came with sunlight in abundance sparkling brightly on trees and fields <br />Where ice had formed and stayed. <br />As I had slept a wonderland was made.<br /><br />Janet L.
