Repair Crews Are Working Round The Clock

It's the third day of no power after a winter storm here.  Here are some thoughts about the situation.

                                                   Repair Crews Are Working Round the Clock

                                                Winter trees cannot bear too much beauty.
                                                 Diamond ice and ermine snow bend their bare
                                                 limbs to breaking, taking all our power with
                                                 them. Water falls in many forms; what helps
                                                 trees grow can kill them in the end. The remains
                                                 make firewood to fight the cold. More winter
                                                 warmth, less summer shade- all is built on trade.
