Pat's Area

Winter’s soft mark landing on Earth
Family lighting fireplace under hearth
Humans respecting Winter’s awesome power
His wise warnings of the demise of flower
The bustling city turned into a muffled mess
Providing the silence where thinking is best.............

Footsteps crunch on the fresh covering of snow
Hiding the paths that I had once known
Letting me forge my paths anew
Letting me find my own way through
As if Winter knew better than me
What it would take to make me see
The gentle glow of light from my home
Where family gathers and love is shown
Is all I need for life to be great
Calming surroundings with no hate
Like the serenity brought with each snowflake.
