The Winds of March Burn

I wrote this in memory of my grandma, who was killed by the horrible wildfires in Texas in 2006.  You can read the whole story here.

The Winds of March Burn

The winds of March in Texas burn.  The cold air stings your cheeks and whips your hair around your face.  The dirt from the barren fields blows across the sky, reminding all that the cold of winter hasn't loosened its grip.  

The winds of March in Texas burn.  All the plants are dead, and all hope of moisture is blown away.  The leaves scatter.  The trees fall.  The plants are blown up from their weakened roots.  

The winds of March in Texas burn.  They blow in mightily, fiercely.  When once they blew in the blessed rain, they now blow in the fire.  They blow the fire with vengeance, stripping the land of everything.  The winds care not for what is in the path.  

The winds of March in Texas burn.  They blow!  They sting!  They kill.  They hurt.  

The winds of March in Texas burn.  They burn into our memory.  They burn into the heart of who we are.  They burn, but we blow along with them.  We blow, and continue on our path the same.  But the winds of March in Texas continue to burn.

    Slimmer than the mens versions, the top brands such as Nike have a choice for consumers and there are large discounts to be found online.

    The brand has sustained the time testing any brand goes through over the decades thanks to mouth-publicity it receives.

    each time a comment is added I get four emails with the exact same
    comment. There has to be a means you can remove me from that service?
    Many thanks!

I enjoy reading every single comment I get, and make every effort to respond to each one...as well as return the favor! I do allow anonymous comments. But, if you use anonymity to hide behind cowardly attacks on my faith or anything else, it will be deleted. Also, if your comment is lewd, vulgar, and full of potty mouth words, I will delete it. Thank you!
