As I sit upon a rock

As I sit upon a rock
in my favorite sitting spot,
birds call and children play
but I am oblivious to them
as my soul is whisked away.
Wood smoke curls through the air,
I feel winter's icy stare,
but on this day I do not care.

by my 11-year-old niece

And thanks to my brother in Anchorage suggesting I try some hot cocoa, I may actually get a few more hours of sleep.
