I enjoy the solitude of snow.
To look out on a snow covered ground.
Peaceful, Silent, Reflective
Quietly shoveling the mounds of white
Thoughts gathered in my mind
A time to reflect on things past
or present
or thoughts of the future
A chance to close out the world of reality and become
One with the night.
Leave behind the worries, anxieties and expectations of others
To move rhythmically with each step.
The compacting crunch of each step I take
Listening for the grind of the shovel as it finally scrapes the ground
as snow falls gently upon the work I have done.
This is my time,
no TV, no books, no work
Just the night, the snow and me.
