A Winter's Dream
David's musical setting of his poem...

Winter’s cloak is sewn with stars
Cast in moonlight’s silver gleam
Winter's cloak will hold us close
In a Winter’s dream
On the shortest day
Through the longest night
We hide beneath the covers
With whispered words of love
At the break of day
In the morning light
We dream of new horizons
And love is birdsong bright
Winter’s cloak is sewn with stars
Cast in moonlight’s silver gleam
Winters cloak will hold us close
In a Winter’s dream
And the certainty of love
Gave us hope and faith and glory
From the forest’s twisted pathways
To the mountains shining heights
Deep in Winter's dream tonight
On the brightest day
On the clearest night
When the moon is full of longing
We gaze across the autumn flight
On the newest day
When the near is far
We’ll reach out for the moon once more
And catch a falling star
Winter’s cloak is sewn with stars
Cast in moonlight’s silver gleam
Winter's cloak will hold us close
In a Winter’s dream

Snow Need to Rush
I watched my breath form a small white cloud as it puffed out of my lips and dissipated before my eyes. I rubbed my hands together, blowing into them with the precious bit of warm air that remained in my lungs. My leg bounced as I stared into the cold dark world beyond the windows of my truck as they remained partially fogged up.
