Eyes Closed

I'm not looking out the window

At the terrible snowstorm

That spoiled my weekend getaway.

In my mind's eye

It's warm and sunny

And we're overlooking Lake Pepin

where the sun's dawning

On a beautiful new day.

Ice floes dot the shores

As it breaks up

Sun's rays glistening off

Pristine waters

Where gulls and eagles

Dip and Dive.

Wrapped in my warm cocoons

I can enjoy a February day off

Until I open my eyes.
