The snappy air has 'pinked my cheeks'
ruffled my dark curls
swept cobwebs away and so much more
from my mind
Going through the motions, I walk
My dogs, eager for adventure,
I, am keen to ponder
so I allow them to discover
all they can find
Meanwhile I roam a little
inside my head
while taking in how winter
is trying to take hold
and is redesigning nature
Bare and stark, gloomy at times
but I embrace the change
expectant and excited like a child still
at the thought of snow
Awaiting a blanket of white innocence
a welcome change from disorder
Layers of glittering calm
that will cause a ripple effect
in my mind

The snappy air has 'pinked my cheeks'

swept cobwebs away and so much more

Going through the motions, I walk
My dogs, eager for adventure,

Meanwhile I roam a little
inside my head
while taking in how winter
is trying to take hold
and is redesigning nature
Bare and stark, gloomy at times
but I embrace the change
expectant and excited like a child still
at the thought of snow
Awaiting a blanket of white innocence
a welcome change from disorder
Layers of glittering calm
that will cause a ripple effect
in my mind
a piece written shortly after Christmas when I still thought we may have snow
