Runoff

Warm sunny day slowly melts snow lying on the cold ground the warmth creates puddles with slush ice moving slowly down each path it could find like a flash flood it creates its own pathway meandering down the street to find the nearest drain sitting watching it all happen from the living room window while sitting fighting the flu you think of the force of water and it finds its way through the winter ice and snow nature is a wonder as is the beginning of spring
