Winter's Walk

Let us walk in winter's snow
Wander through a soundless space
Footsteps whisper a hush embrace
Beneath the veils of nature's lace
All white like down
So soft, serene
As silent prayer
Earth white and clean
With crystals new
Wrapped in fleece 
To keep it safe
With tranquil peace
We shall walk
A windless pace
Dressed in wool
With velvet grace
Tomorrow there will be no more
Our foot steps gone, 
To be erased,
And earth will wear
The peaceful face
It once had worn before
