Wintry Footprints Though the path is worn and old and dreamy vine clutter evergreen bold. I will not abandon that path, despite the weeds and mossy mold. For in that one short while I was with you, your love, conquered my soul… I am trapped by your smile your kindness and giving, your ardent expression for love, and insistent stance for living… If I could hold you, just once more, wrapping my arms around you, holding you tight, I know, I would not be here retracing, frozen footprints in the snow… |

tender and poignant and I'm wondering if snow prints are a bit like sand prints? for I have left behind a few of those and also followed a few, and they always disappear...but maybe, just maybe they have re-appeared somewhere in the snow, where I was not looking? |

If I could hold you, just once more, wrapping my arms around you, holding you tight, I know, I would not be here retracing, frozen footprints in the snow… This poetic tempo - impeccable. I really enjoyed reading these last few lines. |

JL, sending a hug, though I know it's not the one you want. The way I see it, every hug helps on that wintry walk. ![]() Happy New Year |

"For in that one short while I was with you, your love, conquered my soul… If I could hold you, just once more," Oh yes. This says so much. |
