A Wintry MomentA Story by Barbara R DeraouiImagine 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 © 2021 Barbara R Deraoui |
