Snow used to cause
so much anxiety in my body.
I could never appreciate
the beauty of January snow,
all I focused on the harm
it could bring to me.
Now I pause to admire
the quiet of a morning
with the snow falling.
The years have taught me
to trust myself traveling.
Roads will be cleared
in time to venture out.
Drive slow on snowy roads
I will make it back home.
