Winter Meditation


I am the one

who craves frigid silence

beneath winter stars.

 

Hiking on snowshoes across snowfields,

broken only by the tracks of

deer and rabbits,

ears at attention from my crunching on the new-day snow.

 

In that winter world

I am the one who communes with the mountains, worships at the frozen pond in the gloaming.

Dwelt uninvited,

until I laid out my tarp and sleeping bag

among the stands of cedars.
