After The Snow Storm

After the snow storm I go for a walk
Beneath the snow covered trees
Calmness wraps me in her arms, as
Dancing snowflakes still twirled, and
Everything is pristine white, the
Forest is whispering, moaning, and
Groaning for winter is hard for the trees, as they
Hang their heads
In heavy snow cloaks 
Just then, a bird sings me a sweet song, and
Kindred spirits fill the forest
Little creatures like birds, squirrels, rabbits, and all the
Many wandering, like deer, the
Northern Lynx and others
Oh, I love the wild horses running in nearby snow covered
Pastures and meadows, it is
Quite beautiful-  imagine all this
Right in my backyard almost, now the
Sun is setting behind the trees, making
Them shine with a heavenly glow, to light 
Up my way home, through this
Vast snow forest, oh
Wish you could see this  
Xanadu, this dreamy place-
Years pass and the forest remains a
Zenith vertex where I spend time roaming
