winns angels: so cold has been the weather

so cold has been the weather

it's crispness
that of the air
almost makes
one's eyes smart

all is so brilliant
the dogs
of the sun
ring bright
and true
bout the orb

might i dare
to breathe

Finally some relief after four days. Felt much longer. And now the clouds too, have returned.

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk being called sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self. To place your ideas and your dreams before them is to risk being called naive. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He [or she] may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free."
