Snow falls around me as frosted breath swirls.
Crunching feet echoing against the silence.
A trail of prints leading into the distant woods.
Serene calm surrounds me as each step taken.

A tear gathers with a melted flake, trailing down.
A chilled heart with ache, beating a soulful sound.
White bows sadly bend as if knowing the pining.
A mind silently trying to mend, ever reminding.

A trail of lonely moments continues into eternity.
Disturbing only the silence, walking infinitely.
A mill stream below a bridge beckoning lovers.
Frozen till the Spring thaw, only then recovers.

Now a drought of tears, my soul marches here.
Only in the dark  the shadow of another clear.
Sleep  brings out the ache,  fills  the stream dry.
Till then...not a sole tear will again damp an eye

*sigh* this brought back wonderful memories of walking through the words and enjoying the silence. I would love someday to share that kind of silence with someone. I love this poem. It is tender and touches the heart. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
