A Mystical Drive…
The snow flying horizontally across your vision,
To drive in it your job, not your decision,
Driving almost blind requires much precision,
Safely I did drive to avoid a collision…
Snowflakes at speed resemble daggers bringing on fright,
Or white hot bullets heading straight for you, your cars high beams on bright,
Scary though it may seem, a mystical experience I did have this night,
Fear evoked on a subconscious level, eyes shut or open, this vision quite white…
Seems I did pass through “white’ hole in space,
Yesterday with the weather I was not in any race,
My life did pass in front of my eyes as I slid on the ice,
Short though it may have been the show it was quite nice…

I slid, too, down a hill in my work parking lot... told the director about it... she said, "Oh"... brilliant response, don't you think?
We're all crash dummies waiting to happen... Sigh. Call me when the first tulip pops out... 'til then, I think I'll just nap. Take care, mon ami... katy xox
Keep save my friend!!

We are in the 50's here in north central texas, but steve is right...it will be hot before we know it, and i can't TAKE the heat here! i also can't take the storms; they are too wild for me! and no basements to think of; drives me INSANE!! the only season i like here is FALL; fall is delightful, but spring is too stormy, summer is too hot (although last summer wasn't; it was right nice, but too stormy for my cup of tea! severe weather season started late!), and it isn't cold enough in the winter to suit my snow-lovin', ohio-raised blood! i guess we takes what we gets, as my daddy says, but i don't like the weather here most of the time! too finicky!! arggghhh!!
excellent write, though; just be careful is all i ask!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your storm-phobic tx. friend, karen lynn. :(
We used to drive our cars on open car parks, learning how to handle Ice, and aquaplaining..Fun fun fun..

by the way, last 3 days have been sunny & bright, temp. about 70 degrees (i say with glee). but, soon it will be quite hot, that i like not.
