Ocean

The winds hit the coast heavily today

Rocks that shield the houses seem to weaken

Looking out upon the calm sea of cerulean shadows yesterday

Now, it seems to have been changed

It's layers of mightiness are swayed by the winds

Seemingly beautiful and peaceful,

Howling closer it hits our splintery windows

To live by the sea, one of changes

A burden to bear, to appreciate its unsettled ways

Entering my life, challenging our living

Stronger the forces hit our humble hovel

Yet, they strengthen the core of us

Challenging to ruins, yet we yield and move to higher ground

Like the ocean, we to are swayed by changes

Strengthen our souls, as the winds strengthen its victims

Now looking upon the ocean, peaceful and serene once again

Yet both the ocean and I are changed

Snow Bound

Spending the hours of cold snow laden days
Alone in my hide-out
With my colored pencils and books
Fantasy or a Romance that's all I can say
As I read away in my cozy corner

Dodie Smith's "I Capture the Castle"
Rereading it for the time being
As I have loved this novel since high school
My sixteen year old mind enchanted by the story
Now twenty-three and it still makes me smile
What's next on my list to reread???
Cold Comfort Farm .... I think may be the answer


After reading this book, I'm craving some Scones and Tea, hmm looks like my next adventure may involve some English Breakfast, and some baking.
