A Walk In Winter
Cold breeze cutting to the bone
as pitter patter of sleet hit leaves.
Squirrels running around gathering acorns
blue jays, sparrows, juncos
flying tree to tree.
Fountain spraying free
in the lake
as I walk at its side.
Leaves in winter array
lay on the ground
crunching under my stride.
Flakes of white
begin to fly from above
as I round the bend.
Rocky outcropping covered with ice
as go through the valley
my mind floats free
with joy and peace.
Cold wind swaying mighty trees
side to side
in their naked array.
