Crossing the Park

The air was crisp, the trees were bare;
The paths were shoveled clean.
In Central Park today it was
Delightful and serene.

A lonely jogger trotted by;
A nanny pushed her charge.
Some dogs on leashes sniffed and strained;
The cloud-filled sky loomed large.

But mostly it was only me
A'stroll across the park,
Enveloped by the vista
Which was anything but stark.

I love going for walks early in the day, Ilene; serves to recollect my thoughts (apart from the exercise!). Your walk in the park feels very relaxing; so is the rhyme! #7 // paul
