By Caitlyn Kiefer The trees have gone from pink to green to brown
Feet crinkling over the fallen remains of spring Rushing towards the door, towards the warmth From here we can watch the world lose a year Our muddy boot tracks still imbedded in the ground Yet the birds no longer stop in the garden to sing They’ve left, gone to a new home down in the south While here the first snowflakes begin to appear Swirling silently down they have no sound Turn away they’ll have covered the whole ground Beneath them our footprints have burrowed Underneath the wet snow they’ll erode We watch this new layer build while safely wrapped inside The snow beginning to climb the walls with ever growing stride Rolling hills emerge around pressed to the window in growth Encasing us together, awaiting the coming seasons blowth Beams of light push through the shedding walls Anticipation rises with the sounds of bird calls Rushing back to the world in our fresh boots Sloshing around among glistening grass chutes Bootprints bigger than those gone At the cusp of our peak and yet We’ll continue to walk-on Comments are closed.
