Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

His safe space

Rough days, Good days

Everyday he could count on the little forest at the edge of the neighborhood

A multitude of issues were sheltered by the trees there

It was his safe space, unscathed and protected but

Today- today was different

The pressure he felt was unrelenting

Snow was falling- It never snowed here

He rushed to the little forest at the edge of the neighborhood

His safe space

But today- today even the trees couldn’t protect him now

The flakes maneuvered past

The leaves as they bombarded him even

his safe space

wasn’t safe anymore
