Ice Skating

When the cold returns, with its flurry of white
And the large lake freezes with its thick ice,
I will also return to my ice skating years
Glide in the silence and twirl when I can
Cleanse myself with every breath of fresh air
Moving with crystal scenes surrounding me
Embracing winter’s glory, beneath the mountains
In a way that lifts my spirit to the heavens
Escape in calm peaceful silence, without a word

I used to ice skate when I was young, not very good at it though. Still it would be fun to try again. Really nice Heidi

Thank you Chris. That is nice! Yes, it is fun :) It has been a long time for me too, but I look forward to trying again at the lake nearby (and I have my skates) :)
