Here I Am!

Rock Me Like a... oh, forget it.  That's a stupid song.

This one's nicer:

I was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
"Come in" they said
"We'll give you shelter from the storm".

I'm holed up with my family for the next two days.  Hopefully the power won't go out right away, so I'll get another few posts up.  Be safe and sound and dry, folks!
