Hidden Paths
The snowstorm done, I venture out
from here inside my rented space-
a cabin near the mountainside;
I'm lured by beauty, all about.
How still the air- such quiet calm
the dim-lit moon and stars provide.
But, shadows add a warning sign;
I must respect my inner qualm.
The woods around still beckon me;
snow-laden trees, their limbs consign
a sense of peace, for without doubt-
state of quiescence, guarantee.
Whose woods these are, I think I know-
this sacred bliss, God did bestow.
I wish to venture in- but no!
For now, paths hide beneath the snow.
