I close my eyes

And travel

Down that path

Paved by memory

An afternoon

In the northern

Sunlight

Of Alberta winter

A silent snowfall

Muffling the world

Each snowflake

Travelling

In its slow dance

To build the drifting

White lawn

Wrapped around the house

As I rested

Tucked up warm inside

The toasty house

Watching snow fall

Upon pines and plains

Letting winter

Lull me into sleep ~ Caroline A. Slee
