A Simple Moment

The sun lights the snow on the hill Shining between trees, shadows still The birds left footprints at the seed After the storm, where they did feed A distant chime rings, in a slight breeze In the cold air where ice did freeze With this quietness, there is peace As the sunset light does increase Sit with my words to feel it too For now, it may carry you through Challenging times, we all do meet --A simple moment can defeat-- Heidi Sands 2/9/18

So true; a simple moment, yet, not so simple. Great imagery.
