WINTER WALK
Soft white hibernation ---
a landscape bereft of vibrance,
appears barren, forlorn.
I walk alone
covered, yet not sufficiently warmed.
Snow is falling.
All is still
except for the predictable crunch
beneath my boots.
The faint howl
of a solitary, persistent hound
confronts the silence.
My pace quickens,
emerging darkness hurries me home
for comfort, warmth.
