A stroll in the snow
original poetry & photosToday, I shall strike out
On the frost-laden trail:
.
A new pace awaken,
A newly sought grail.
A spring in my step to
Reclaim what was taken
.
By the scourge, unawareness:
By the folly of youth.
By the complacence of age,
By osmosis uncouth.
.
Step upon step on sweet steep-rising knoll
Homebound towards the heavens inclined
My raised eyes behold a skyward shoal.
.
Amethyst water, air's intangible gems
A mirage of the myst through periosteum limbs.
.
A dusting, ice dew with its scintillous sheen
That reflects life's pristinity abraded between
Friction, fissures, and conflict: hypocritical stone
That encapsulates vigor— that renders me lone.
.
In the dirt and the snow
And the indigo sky: I see hope
and new life, and arise to comply.
