why call the cloudless sky and bright sun deceptive
more so than the chilling cold or the bitter wind
winter’s storms have been traveling the mountains
even without these the time to don warmer clothes
build nighttime fires pile blankets on beds has arrived
so look instead at your own mind before casting blame
on weather that happens as weather does
let the judgment rest where it should and ask
which of these lies within my control
then put on a coat next you leave the house
