Walk Through Winter

A walk in the winter How I missed this Evergreens with light fresh snow laced on all the branches pine needles fall Feel that blustery wind kiss Arctic enchantment There is nothing else like this The wind stands all your hair on end Snow will surly come soon Wondering when it will end There is a smell in the air Cold is coming I smile as I hear the crunch of snow with each step The sun shines brightly Yet it feels galaxies away With each breath, a cloud of cold escapes New England cold An experience within itself The sun sets before dinner We are learning to embrace it all Get up earlier for the sunrise In case you miss the sun fall Discipline in a frozen fortress This is the season where growth lies As I turned to go inside I glanced back to see The sunset on Winter Solstice Snowflakes fly Snowflakes swirl all around me Today's snow-white wonders Tomorrow snowmen come into town Snow angels in snowsuits Everywhere...look around Hot cocoa with whip cream Day or night Close your eyes We skip past the best parts sometimes Sometimes its what we miss most These memories Now, these tales of the cold Is all that we have when our last winter is told
