Inspired by Kathy Lockhart's "A Loveless Story with a happy Ending"'


Only the Strong

Not all plants shall be protected
behind glass walls
during late autumn storms.
No! The strongest suck their strength
from the heart of the howling
winter wind.

I really do wish I was slightly more protected in the Cornish winters Betsy....it has been storm force 10 for too long a winter for me. Excellent analogy, but why does it have to be so relentless? springs to my mind. I am looking forward towarmer weather, not a moment too soon. Smiling at you, Tai
