water finds the path . of least resistance, but can’t .in the freezing cold
when interrupted . progress slows to a trickle . as if time stands still
of course, a cleared path . is not without its dangers . real and imagined
most will clear a path . not long enough to travel . just enough to stop
with a shoveled path . the world has been reopened . and sundogs can play
with every change . what is carried from the past . is the new normal
an overnight change . often comes with a warning . and comes on slowly
the path was altered . overnight, staying the course . will no longer work
nature is conquered . or so we’d like to believe . but nature just laughs
winter has away . of forcing a decision . questions are answered
