I am
I am fire.
burning, raging, consuming, overwhelming.
I am fear.
cold, so cold it hurts, shaking, quaking, unrelenting.
I am snow.
I am mornings.
better late than never, and yet still an acquired taste. unlike calm summers' eves, for whom everyone is elated to greet and meet.
I am a dinner bun.
soft and sweet, spongey and chewy, a guilty treat. certainly not worth spoiling your appetite, but always worth a bite.
I am bells.
gentle, soothing, softly weeping. seldom noticed in all the noise, but noted in my absence.
I am family.
I am home.
where we all return when the days grow long, and we grow old.
