The Snowy Trail
Where does the snowy trail lead,
to a trapper's cache by the frozen river
or to a warm cabin glowing with embers,
this is the path that the handsome wolf
and its wiry neighbor the fox both follow,
stealthily searching for food to fill their
empty and cold stomachs.
A writer's trail is snowy at times
as the hunger trail of the wild,
which leads over steep hills winding its way
through the meadows of icy stillness,
bypassing a frozen pond where some
majestic moose carefully tread
while their nostrils flare from
winter's frostiness.
The trail is exhaustive to climb and food is scarce
but the untamed denizens reach their goal
as the ravenous writer who does not give up
and follows his or her dream.
