Winter's Muse Calling
Soodiasadi, Winter hiking
in Switzerland, 2020 (detail).
I will not venture far outside todayWhere things are frozen solid anyway
There wind is howling through the naked trees
I doubt there's really all that much to see
There's ice I'm sure that's covering the lake
Bare rocks and such whatever trail I take
All birds and creatures of the wooded park
Are hibernating somewhere safe and dark
Still, looking out my window I can muse
If winter could by chance be holding clues
To secrets known to those who cannot stay
Indoors on even coldest winter days
Of course you know I say all this the while
I'm buckling boots and going for a mile
Another good selection from J. D. Shirk.
