Change Is Here

I’ve been coming here for 35 years. The gentle sounds of the wooden boardwalk match the beats of my heart. When it sways, I smile. When the wind picks up, it means change is coming. For thirty five years, change was good. Until this morning, when the landscape changed from sunny warm skies to a white, cold exterior. Climate change, wasn’t real, they said. Tell that to my frost-bitten fingers.
