Home Again

Mucky boots as I walk the trail
Deep into woodland, it begins to hail
The tale of Autumn, a slight frost
Forgotten my gloves and counting the cost

All alone surrounded by trees
Got to keep moving before I freeze
Been walking for over two hours now
A distant call from a concerned cow

I see the light and familiar with the view
Feeling warm now but hands of blue
Over the gate and into the rain
No bother because I'm back home again

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
