Tracks

Tracks

 

Last night’s snow tells tales

of guests come calling while I slept

late and early, footprints –   

(both familiar and un-)

crossing paths, skirting others,

some lead directly to my door

 

Sorry I am

to have missed them

(slumbering through their sojourn)

still I smile in the knowing,

trails revealed, every snowing

      Thank you! :-) And you can send some of that warm up here -- if it's getting to be too much for you. ;-)

    The heavy snowfall on Sunday night has been washed away, here, in southern Ontario.
    Your photos make a delightful collage!

    "of guests come calling" you'd never know but for those tracks. Those images are beautiful.

      No secrets -- isn't that the truth? Thanks for the nice comments. I loved your wolverine poem and image, Bjorn!
