In The Field
outside,
fresh snow
yesterday's footprints
are forgiven in white
I hesitate to
leave the house -
to disrupt the
new and pure
seems
unpardonable
but once
alone
in the field
I am joy.

Hello, Michael,
Fresh snow is so inviting, but I hate to make tracks on the bare canvas - until I get out in it. Then it is pure joy!
Thank you for reading!

How I used to Feel.
How I used to feel when I was younger but not now. Lovely to look at but as I grow more ancient look at it is all I want to do. Not that we get much here, no real falls since 2010. But your words certainly bring back pleasant memories. Alex.

Hello, Alex,
It is beautiful, but I understand the unpleasantness it brings when driving in it and getting out and about. I love walking in the snow, though, especially away from the distractions of houses and streets. A lovely, quiet connection.
Thank you for reading!
