Marina2020

360 degrees of mountains
Wind blowing through the open windows
Bird chirping from every direction
Nothing but rolling mountains
Some small, others huge
Some pointed, others round
 
I stand atop this fire tower

During this pandemic
While doing all classes online
Being with family all day
Stuck at home

It’s the small things
That keep me from breaking down
From the anger and sadness and frustration

A cup of tea to warm my soul

Rain pounds on the metal roof
Water dripping into the attic from an unforeseen hole
A flash illuminates my dark room
Thunder growls, low and strong, vibrating my core
Swelling to it's peak

The snow crunches underfoot as I walk deeper into the forest
Just me and my camera, trying desperately not to feel lonely
Spring is almost here; soon the snow will all be gone
I lift my camera and focus on a particularly twisted tree
