A Winter Mirage

By Val Weaver

An elderly man teaches his granddaughter a lesson on dealing with bullies and then tells all of his grandchildren of an adventure he had when he was about their age. That adventure took place at the bottom of a pond on the family farm. Did it really happen or was it an hallucination, the result of a near drowning?

INTRODUCTION: THE WOMAN WINTER

In winter when the world is dressed

in her wedding gown of white,

her lace veil covers windows

to shield us from the night.

All is quiet everywhere

but the crackling of the fire,

then I look out the window

and feel the desire

to go sledding in the snow

as I once did long ago.

Then I think back over all my years

of all my joys and all my
