Winter walk

Winter walk

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

The dribbling frost of ice brings the winter season into focus

"

In a hotel room watching the white snow fall
gliding past and beckoning with shaken leaves,
Drape in beautiful files outside upon the wall,
Silent ice sat in the bark hung from the trees.

In the gentle night I took a walk with my spirit,
Snow caught my eyes fluttering with little wings,
They try to fly flapping with all their might,
But end up covering the street and soak clothes.  

Cold sober response shook the worn knees,
And my tearing teeth broke lamentable silence,
A smitten figure misplace in night ease,
Try to walk outside upon snows frozen ice.

My limbs dug tunnels and tried to hold me tight,
But the ground took my stride to skip and dance,
I walk the path where the street had gone,
For once in my life I felt carried by a spirit.

Along the path set for me with beaten snow,
I started to float and struggle to find a way home,
I should have sunk deep in sleep by now,
Instead, plague with regret; I am out on my own.

I went where footsteps lost their charms,
The softer images in mind losing the fight,
Trying to stay alive swaying with my hips and arms,
The images were not meant to last through the night.

Wow. Your words painted a wonderful winter picture and the last stanza is my favorite. Btw, the font is good but not really readable. Some tails of the letters are lost in between lines.
