on any path walked . distractions will appear and . plant expectations
behind the cyclone . fencing, the unwanted snow . calmly awaits fate
this deep in winter . it is hard to imagine . the summer sunshine
at the jagged edge . black and white can disappear . into shades of grey
a society . may provide security .it may never use
every footprint . tells a small story about . what we leave behind
water finds the path . of least resistance, but can’t .in the freezing cold
of course, a cleared path . is not without its dangers . real and imagined
most will clear a path . not long enough to travel . just enough to stop
with a shoveled path . the world has been reopened . and sundogs can play
