Gliding softly
Into the white wood
Sanctuary

Through the tears
Glowing brilliantly
Red sunrise

Last of the day’s light
Low in the western sky
Lingering

Swishing sound of skis
Glow of a headlamp
Slicing through the dark

Snow-laden pines
Train whistle blows
In the distance

Reading by moonlight
The meandering mind
Of the trailmaker

Snow crystals
Cling from face and branches
Sunrise sparkle

Christmas morning
Freshly groomed trails
Delight

Wind in the branches
Fire lights the fading sky
Host of stars unveiled

Southern winds howl
Through leafless oak and poplar
Silent wings of owl
