Winter Walks

Careful steps on ice
Deep breaths
In silence take it in

Here all alone
On the way home
As winter walks begin

Shadows loom about
There’s gloom
Yet something in the air

A peaceful still
Despite the chill
No other time compares

Silhouettes we are
And yet
We more than shadows be

Till winter’s end
Here with this friend…
The fallen snow and me
