Winter Walk and Sounds

As I listened to the snow crunch under my feet, I walked up the hill toward the setting sun A wind chime still hanging, slowly sang in the breeze Between the chirps of birds visiting the feeder Thin layers of ice cracked between tall trees I looked at the light, blinding to see Then I stood still with a breath of cold air Momentarily frozen in time, listening to winter’s sounds As peace engulfed me, I became part of the hill, The snow and the light upon me Heidi Sands 1/10/23
