I gingerly put my foot on the ice
Carefully testing my traction
Not wanting to take a fall
Winter had blanketed everything in ice
It all had a beautiful sparkle
But the beauty was deceptive
As the sounds of limbs cracking
Echoed through the night
Taking trees and wires down to the ground
No cars dared drive down the streets
It was the kind of night
Where Mother Nature proved her power
