Release
I walk alone in dark of night,
The starry sky my only light.
The crunch of snow beneath my feet,
Turning the corner, my shadow I meet.
My breath a cloud, distorts my sight.
The fields of farmers lay covered in snow,
My path shining ice, slipping sliding as I go.
The thoughts I hold they slowly drift away,
Troubles and concerns from another long day.
As I breathe in the frosty night air, memories flow.
Dainty snowflakes dancing high above,
The nighttime holds me like a glove.
Buried beneath the snow and ice,
Spring flower bulbs and sleeping mice.
Alone, peaceful - the sheltering night I love.
Across the fields the lights of home,
My feet step lightly as I roam.
Relaxed and released from everyday cares, the chilly night air captures my tears.
The warm house greets me, it feels good coming home.
