Winter Journ

Snow painted maples,their leaves wilted and piled beneath Snow carpeting,its glistening surface frozen Fresh snow filled impressions made by traveler's passage Warm thoughts my insulation for cold mornings The sky's halogen glow vast and dense Beyond my sight and camera's vision This silent void and canvas filled with memories of warmer season's yield Concealed by placid winter's our conversations echo Glistening snow and shimmering ice crystal ornaments Jangle and clatter,precious seasonal matter Vanishes spellbound by elemental magic Adorned bare maple branches stretching skyward They're unearthed roots yearning the sky's seasonal warmth As the heavens weight gave, the ground swelled with pristine snow Beneath this frozen carpet,spring's dormant yield Where tall grass once grew untamed ,dense and concealing During summers passed Winter ensures its nature's task Fertilizing dormant seeds of pretty memories and camera photographs An inherent sacred past
