Road trip in the cold,
all bundled in with the heat turned high—
blasting.
Sleet rain threatening to burst into crystal
before all turns magic
and snowflakes dance upon our panes
like drifting screen savers.
The weather is without and we are within.
What could be better
as we cruise down the potholed lanes?

I enjoy the way cars make a safe haven against the weather - feels like your own personal universe ! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are back to feeling fighting fit now. ♥
Best to be within. Enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteGreat to be inside, watching those drifting screen savers...
ReplyDeleteStay within when it is raw and wet! Good for you to pick out potholes!
ReplyDeleteI like rain and I like snow. And I love the feeling of being in the safe, warm little capsule of a car hurtling through it all. You said it so much better than I though! Well done Shers!

ReplyDeleteREALLY nice; peacefull, and playlike, dodging potholes.
For me..."better" would be finding that hearth, warmth, some drink (for me coffee (HA!) and good friends to stare, share, love, not having to beware a single thing....
Thank you, Peep!
