Constance La France Poet Enclosed Rhyme

I Went Walking

I went walking in the silent and stillness of winter,
     it had snowed softly on this cold, cold night;
homes glowed from deep within and sparkled bright,
          a lonely snowflake kissed my cheek like a feather.

Wandering deserted town streets a solitary walker,
     park benches buried in the pure white snow;
quietly an icy and frosty river still ripples to flow,
          and the shops are luminous in the town center.

At a church stained glass panes were welcoming,
     the pristine snow laying on the steps in tranquility;
I bowed my head in prayer recalling memories of my family,
          as snowflakes were falling and whispering.
