Footsteps

The footprints in fallen snow lead to mysterious places wooded hills and open spaces steps in a journey told to know Fresh cold air awakens the mind to all kinds of things to be seen Some things fallen in a ravine Others left on cliff edges to find A search in nature is profound Wildlife company always there Up high, down low, everywhere Sky, land, plants and trees all around To know that I'm part of it all in a stroll taken any day Those footsteps taken will stay memories, for me to recall Heidi Sands 1/24/24 8 syllables (C)opyright

During this evening's walk, the fog rolled in and blanketed the trees and hills. I could still hear the songbirds, cawing crows, and the mooing of cows but could not see them. I was engulfed by nature. It was so peaceful.

That sounds so peaceful Jerry! I would love that. Today there is a layer of ice on the snow with the sun shining and it is sparkling. Thank you. I hope you have a nice day :)

Hello Heidi, sometimes the footprints come from nowhere. I often see footprints in the snow and wonder how they got there. I wonder what animal made the foot prints. Hugs. /Darlene/

Hi Darlene. I did have some footprints that i couldn't recognize in the snow recently, but tonight the poem was just a fiction poem from imagination. I appreciate your visit. Thank you :)
