Analysis of Cold in derry.



~~~
It is cold in Derry, tonight,
From the east a wind blows
And I’m glad I have shoes,
Otherwise an agonising
Experience for my feet.
~
But that area of my body
Is one that is not isolated,
For the cold permeates all
Of my being in-spite of the
Clothes bought to me by
Wife…
~
Of course we have other
Experiences throughout
The year in which heat is
Beyond ones imagination
And is the source of much
Disturbances to the well
Clothed.
~
Experiences experienced
Across the centuries by
Many of our species
Arising from a creation of
Multiple realities- a variety
Beyond any comparison.
~
Thus, as a part of creative
Reality and as such we must
Share whatever our Father
Ordains… For the latter is the
Source who ordained ourselves.
