A Wintry Moment

A Wintry Moment

A Story by Barbara R Deraoui

Imagine yourself walking through the snow into a forest full of pines

As you pause amongst the trees, all you can hear is the silence

There is a stillness to the air

A slight cool breeze rustles through the trees moving the limbs

Snow left on the branches gently falls down slowly, as small flakes

As they hit your coat and face, they sit for a moment before melting away

An owl sits up high on one of the branches looking down at you and the world all around

The sky is crystal clear. There is a glimmer from the moon lighting the path ahead

At the end of the path sits a small log cabin

There’s a light on. It can be seen in the window

A fire burning is in the fireplace. 

The smell of pine fills the air

The ambiance offers a warm feeling of welcome
