As the wild geese go south
and the world falls asleep
I wake up slowly from my heated slumber.
I let the cold touch my toes and my knees
I shiver in the morning light
I curl up. I stretch out.
My lungs fill with icy air.
As the animals hide beneath the earth
I thread upon it.
I've never been more awake then when
the snow falls
and silence cover the world.
