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 Heidi Sands 9/24/19

I would like to join you but our lake doesn’t freeze any more. I like your return to innocence.

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) :)
