'Twas a Pretty Morning

‘Twas a pretty morning this morning
Snow like sticky dust on the ground
On the trees
A white scene so lovely
Funny how such a delicate thing
Not even an inch of crystalized water
It conquers mighty fir trees
Fields of grass and weeds
The dead raccoon across the road
Is covered in a layer of snow
My whole hill is frozen cold
It’s like death, and yet
It’s so pretty
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Well then, my eyes have issues
But ‘twas a pretty morning this morning.

Self-Reflection

           If death’s cruel eyes stared me in the face, what would I do?  If I were under a table at Columbine, with a gun to my head, would I admit who I worshipped?
            I don’t want to be faced with that decision, but I want to know the truth in my heart.  If I am a coward, I want to know.  But do I want to risk finding out?
