[Art by Andrew Wyeth, “Wind from the Sea”]

A chill wind
swept through
my house,
blowing out the
candles and
darkening each 
of its many
rooms.

I was sorely tempted, 
I’ll admit,
to shut the windows
and bolt the doors
and do all I could
to drive out
my frigid guest.

But a voice inside
restrained me:
“Let her be;
she is my messenger.”
