snowfall

We were shocked with an early snowfall in DC today. Nothing stuck to the ground, but it was beautiful. Snow always makes me think of how creative our God is, how did He think of this? I love snow because it's the perfect excuse to hibernate. Started digging through some old stuff I'd written and found this...

A game of hide and seek.
Revealing bits and pieces of me.

Made for each other.
Not love at first sight.
Still, a perfect fit.
Everything was right.
And then it wasn't.

Building up layers.
One brick at a time.
Pick me up, put me back on my feet.
Wall off the parts I'd started to let go of.
Time heals everything doesn't it?

A game of hide and seek.

Step and step and step
One second,
One hour,
One day.
Wise me up for next time.
Wise me up.

Another comes along.
Suprisingly willing to go through it all again.
A little slower this time.
Battle scars still around to remind.
Burning out the memories.

A game of hide and seek.
Revealing bits and pieces of me.
