Snow Shadows

 
 In the Snow
  
 In the snow
 They go
 These blue-grey ghostly, 
 Shadowy footprints in the white
 Maybe even dead of night
  
 To and fro
 They never seem to 
 Slow
 Even up the steps
 They go
  
 Do you possibly
 suppose
 Unbeknown they 
 May leave behind,
 Expose.
 A small piece of each
 Imprint-owner’s Soul??

 Winter Whites
  
 Winter always reminds me of white -- purity. I don’t know, maybe because 
that’s when it snows the most. Things always seem to slow down.
 The frantic growing of spring and summer is absent. The earth seems
 to be taking a rest.
 Less rushing around
 Time to let go
 More repose
 Be slow
 More inner reflection
 Look for a higher direction
    For my thoughts
 Be enveloped by
 Peaceful stillness 
 Make it an endeavor most earnest
 Go deeper into myself
 That inner me
 I usually place upon a shelf
 As I rush around
 Get to know God’s peace that
 Passes understanding.
  
 Come, Lord Jesus, come.
 Recreate your world and
 Leave your peace and repose!
