bitter cold has brought upon us
a season of powerless unknown
no light to see by
no water to drink
no heat to warm us
& still it is redemption
a detour from the drone of routine
i welcome this inconvenience
with wide open arms
& a tip of my hat
when the light returns
i will welcome it as well
but knowing our full potential
lies just beneath it
