TURBULENCE

Nightime snows
blanket the ground,
and muffle the noises
from all around.
The stillness echoes
without a sound.

A picturesque place,
a stately home ,
but inside the family
emotions churn.
The friction worsens
and anger burns.

Tempers erupt and
spew out insults.
A sterner discipline
will be the results.
Teenagers feel caged
and ache to explore.

Even mother and father
are weary and sore.
It seems that all peace
has flown out the door.
Please don't despair, it
will return as before.

The bright morning sun
will melt all the snow,
and you will be free again
to come and to go.
Spirits will soar, and
you won't feel so low.

Winter will flee and the
snows turn to rain.
Hearts will be light and
you'll be happy again.
So, in the meantime,
just try to remain sane.

Spring will return with
its warmth and its cheer.
You won't even remember
why you felt so drear.
Cabin fever will pass, or
at least for this year.

























Spring will return with
warmth and with cheer.
You won't even remember
why you felt so drear.

I love your poem. It's true everyone is so tired of winter.
I'd like to forget what I'm feeling for sure. 'On Ya'-ma
