Seasons don't fear the Reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.
We can be like they are.

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on.
The curtains flew and then he appeared.

Saying, "Don't be afraid."
And she had no fear.
And she ran to him.
"Baby, take my hand.
We'll be able to fly."
Then they started to fly.
She had taken his hand.
Don't fear the Reaper.

"Reflections" - Postcard

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "Reflections (as in mirror)".

The major snow storm that affected a large swath of the United States dumped 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) of snow on my area of Connecticut on Sunday, January 25, 2026. There was a topping of sleet / freezing rain, so there was a crust on top of the snow. All of the major highways in Connecticut were still partially snow covered Monday morning, and then there was black ice. It has been bitterly cold, with the highs around 20F (-6.66 Celsius), but with a wind chill making it feel more like 0F (-17.77 Celsius). This coming Sunday, there is currently a 40% chance of a Nor'Easter hitting my area. :-(  Is it Spring yet?

Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate you
Reaching for something in the distance
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in

I put a sunglass on, so no one can see me cry

I'm not here for long
I'm just passing by
The world keeps getting harder
But I'm too cool to die

Don't cry, don't cry
Ask me how I feel
And don't ask why

Too Cool To Die - Post Malone


Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you
