STRANGE RENEWAL
Cold green-gray mist enshrouds his world,
shot through with tree barks black and burled.
The path is clear and bright below,
wide and straight and white with snow.
Despite the gloom of black and gray
all stress and strife lies far away.
Within the forest, quiet reigns
repairing loss from daily strains.
There’s naught to fear from most unknown;
in brief encounters, wisdom grown.
Dress warm against the cold dark chill;
wild winter walk will warm your will.
