    Yet they will live, as they have year after year. Where are you running to this winter?

    Yes they do reclaim life, and if I may continue in my poetic mood, return in spring wearing the bud wreaths of victory. (Jeez, I’m gettin’ strange!)

    Neha, my only retreat is within myself, where there’s a room in my mind no one else can enter.

    Beautiful, Susan. I’ve missed reading your work. It’s a pleasure to let my mind go beyond hurricane paths.
