This image reminded us of what it looks like outside our window tonight – in the middle of a snowstorm. I hope your muse finds it worthy of attention and inspiration.
STRANGE RENEWAL
Cold green-gray mist enshrouds his world,
shot through with tree barks black and burled.
The path is clear and bright below,
wide and straight and white with snow.
Despite the gloom of black and gray
all stress and strife lies far away.
Within the forest, quiet reigns
repairing loss from daily strains.
There’s naught to fear from most unknown;
in brief encounters, wisdom’s grown.
Dress warm against the cold dark chill;
wild winter walk will warm your will.

THE STRANGER
*
The way be cold
Yet he walks the path
For on the other side warmth and peace lied
Snow on the grounds cold winds do blow in the night
Trees to each side do bare off some
Mist be thick
Yet he still see his way
Tuckin he coat in
As he walks
To keep the winds at bay
The stranger walks alone the whole way the garden path
When got up through the mowing field
He so saw light
A whir of sober birds
He so heard
Rattling down
Sat upon the grounds
The stranger fear not for if the bird still stands there waz hope for man
