Angel in the snow

Snow covered trees line the highway with white I drive while seeking, yet another new sight Things in life come with a high price to pay I tell myself often, I will find my way A flock of birds fly in gray sky with freedom flapping wings They know where they're going, any outcome, each one sings I often find myself on a slippery slope I seek out my muse, ways with words to cope Imagine falling like an angel in the snow... There are those special things in childhood, we'll always know How to make that angel, be that angel, on a cold winter day Memories are retained of lessons learned during play I keep driving, passing the trees that make me think on a highway full of thoughts with every blink There is a span of things I know and many miles to travel Just to know what I can let go of or otherwise unravel I'll try to spread my arms like the angel in soft snow Wrap my beliefs so they don't melt, holding onto what I know Heidi Sands 12/11/24 (C)opyright
