The Harmony of Winter Steps

The Harmony of Winters Steps

Shuffling through
The fresh new snow
While strolling in the park
Seeing shadows launch and form
So quietly and peacefully
My boot secured the ground
Against a pure white layer
They never make a sound
A fresh feel within it all
As I strolled through this place

The trees are covered
Frozen branches
With a crystal glow
The only sound that I can hear
Are little wisps of wind
There is that feeling
From within
Gentle, soothing, a calming feeling
Rendered from within
I stop to meditate
And feel the breeze
Upon my face
Harmonizing my feelings
Which I embrace

The time to stop and smell the air
The time to treat all others fair
For where I found peace on earth
Was within this park
As I walked within the snow

    I had gone out and then thereafter with a few pictures I thought I would just write.
    It's conclusive...and I am very content...

    These are the times, and it was just a write of my own yesterday as Multipy closed for much of the day.

    thank-you for letting us take the walk with you. i do not wish to live in the snow and cold again, but poems and such like yours remind me that there is a beauty that is missed by not being around the pretty white stuff. (i still do not wish to live in it! :0) )

    Your welcome Linda, this was done last night and I just thought it might be something of worth...
    I can't honestly say that these temperatures are my favorite but right around the corner is Spring.

    It was very much within the thoughts of yesterday and here the weather has been cold, yet you dress up Fatos and yesterday
    and this morning I have just been going for small runs. Ironically there are other ones that do the same.

    Such a beautiful poem...Its beautiful to feel this "The only sound that I can hear/Are little wisps of wind /There is that feeling /From within /Gentle, soothing, a calming feeling /Rendered from within"
